Here’s the wrap up for the auction which includes huge thanks to everyone who helped out, big or small, we couldn’t have done it without you! We would name you but we don’t want to miss anyone. Needless to say this completely volunteer and community led event couldn’t have happened nor would it have been such a success without so many helpful volunteers and generous donations. Thank you so, so much! It was an amazing night and we raised tons of money for our school.

We have to give a special thanks to our big item donors:

• Our amazing hosts at 1600 SE Division. They are very generous community members that host this one event just for us. They don’t charge us a dime for it and are amazing for doing it! It allows us to stay close enough that people are able to walk, bus or bike to the venue. It’s so amazing. Thank you!!

• Parents and community members donated time at their vacation and/or rental homes, plane rides, etc. valued at thousands of dollars and raised so much for our school. Thank you!! 

• These companies donated over $500 worth of goods or discounts: Hammerling Wines, Mathnasium, Steve and Kate’s camp, Mestizo, Elite Luxury Restrooms, Block Party Barricades, Nick Mendez Photography, Lone Fir Fitness, Peter Corvallis Rentals, Frog Pond Farm and Adrift Hospitality. Thank you!

• Parents donated items, reached out to their employers, handmade items, etc. Thank you!

• Many local businesses provided gift cards, tours, merchandise and or discounts. Thank you!
