Auction

It’s time to buy your tickets for our annual auction event! We will be “Celebrating Superheroes” to raise funds for our school’s superheroes – North Beach teachers and staff, who are helping us raise up tomorrow’s superheroes. The event will be held Saturday, March 23, 2019 at Block 41 in Belltown. Buy tickets now

Year after year, North Beach’s PTA has provided additional funds to help supplement the deficit of state funding for our school. What we raise during this auction will go toward the PTA’s general fund which covers things like books, music and art instruction, additional guidance time, technology and playground equipment, school supplies, tutoring, and much more.

We are aiming for 100% participation from our school community for this event. It is one of the three main fundraising programs for North Beach — bringing in a large portion of PTA funding for important programs for our children. What’s more, it’s great fun — a hallmark of our friendly and very special community.

Here’s how you can participate:

Attend the auction! Grandparents, neighbors, friends are invited, too. Buy your tickets here
Procure or donate an item! Frequent certain businesses? Run an organization? Are you an artist? Own a vacation property? Have air miles to donate? Work with a generous employer who could donate goods or services to include in the live or silent auctions? If every family drums up just 1-2 donations, this auction is in the bag! Procure or donate online here
Sponsor the auction! If you are a business owner and would like to financially support the auction while advertising your business, we’d delight in your sponsorship. We have several sponsorship levels available, all of which offer great exposure to our community of families who attend North Beach as well as the auction. Complete the sponsorship form online
Donate to the classroom basket! Your child's room parent will reach out to you soon with more information about how to participate.
Host a table at the auction! Gather a group of other parents from your child’s classroom or from your block. The opportunities for bonding as you dine and bid together on auction night are priceless. Buy tickets for your table
Volunteer at another school’s auction! We partner with several nearby schools for auction night staffing. Other schools send parents to help run our event, and we in turn need 20-25 volunteers to sign up to run one of the other schools’ auctions. Volunteer Coordinator Tara Nessan will be sending out more information about this soon.
Join the auction committee! If you’re interested in helping with logistics, decor, data entry, organizing procurements, classroom baskets, class art, sponsorships, or any other needs, big or small, please join us at planning meetings. Additional perks include mingling with other parents, skipping bedtime duties at home, and enjoying fabulous wine! Contact the auction co-chairs for info.

Tickets include: appetizers, dinner, beer, wine, specialty cocktails and an evening you will never forget. Over the past few years as our auction has grown, the cost of the event has also grown. We have been spending about $125 per person and only charging $80. We believe it’s time to raise the price, but since this may not work for everyone this year we are offering multiple ticket prices:

$125 Bionic Level
$90 Power Level
$60 Super Level

You may also donate an extra ticket for a teacher or parent in need. Please pay what works best for you, and/or contact one of the auction co-chairs if you wish to receive a donated ticket. It’s more important to the auction committee that this is an inclusive North Beach community event and we hope everyone will be able to attend!

On behalf of the auction committee and the PTA, thank you for your SUPER support of North Beach Elementary students and staff!
