All,
Ticket sales for this year's Spring Auction and Gala (March 25th) have been delayed due to a technical glitch with the website. (We're disappointed, too!) We'll let you know as soon as we're ready to start selling.
As always, more information about the Spring Auction and Gala can be found at https://edisonpta.org/fundraising/spring-auction/
But while we have your attention... let us tell you about one way you can support the Spring Auction and Gala: Hosted Parties! Hosted Parties are an essential part of the Edison auction. They are fun, popular and a great opportunity to meet other families in a social setting. Whether you host a party or sign up to come to a party, you are sure to have a fantastic time.
What are Hosted Parties?
👉🏽They are hosted by parents or a group of parents
👉🏽They can be at your home, in your yard, at a venue, or in nature
👉🏽They don’t need to be elaborate, but they can be!
👉🏽Hosts decide if it’s for kids, adults, or a combo
👉🏽They are sold at a fixed price. Generally, they range from $40-75pp for adult parties and $20-35pp for kids. If you think the price should be higher due to adult beverages, that works.
👉🏽The hosts cover all party expenses and 100% of the funds raised by the event benefit our school programs.
👉🏽They are being managed by Claire Saccoccini, clairepotel@gmail.com
Hosted Party ideas are:
- Scavenger Hunt
