Why is the Canyon School Auction so important?

Canyon School’s Spring Auction – a school tradition for 22 years, is the major fundraising event of the year.

• 100% of the net proceeds from the auction support our school and keep our wonderful teaching staff in place. The auction is essential to help close the growing deficit in our annual budget.
• The auction is a great community-building event. There are many volunteer opportunities and parents have fun working together to achieve a common goal.
• The evening of the auction is fun, exciting and the social event of the school year!

How can I get involved?

The auction committee needs and appreciates all kinds of help from the Canyon and/or school community. No matter how much or how little time you can give, all is appreciated!

Here are some of the ways you can get involved:

• Volunteer! Contact the Auction Chairs Avril Fitzgerald or Angel Clifford to find out how you can help.
• Donate an item or service to be auctioned.
• Ask friends, family members, or businesses to make donations

Will Childcare be available?

Yes, we’re organizing a pizza, movie and game night at the school. Details to be announced. We do however, need a head count, so please let us know if you will need childcare for the evening. Email us with your needs. This will help us determine how many sitters we need to hire.

How do I pay for my Urban Peasant winning bid items and when do I get them?

All winning bid items must be paid for by cash, check, or money order. Payments will be collected and winning bid items will be given at the Canyon School Urban Peasant Auction and Dinner on April 28th.
