When is the Casino Night & Auction?
Saturday, March 24, 2018. Doors will open at 7pm.
Will there be a live and silent auction?
Yes, both. However, the silent auction tables will be open longer than usual, but will close before the live auction.
Will there be a paddle raise?
Yes, we will be raising the paddle for school supplies for Fall 2018. Our goal is to be able to provide school supplies for ALL of our students.
What will the money raised go towards?
The South Shore PTSA collects all of the money and then uses the money throughout the school year for the benefit of the children at South Shore Pk-8 School. In summary, our Auction accounts for the majority of our annual budget, which supports key school programs and various items for students and/or classrooms.
How can I help?
This year we are asking for donations to fill gift baskets for the silent auction, bottles of wine for the wine grab, desserts for the dessert table, find sponsors and unique experiences or items specifically for the live auction that you yourself would want.
