- Elect to have your $100 placed in our "package pool". We have a collection of packages and experiences that we would like to procure. Families place their $100 donation in a pool allowing us to procure higher-priced packages (ie concert tickets, staycations, boat rentals, and more). To have your $100 applied to the pool, email auction@stpx.org by Feb. 1.
- Put together a custom package. If you have a rental, tickets to an event, timeshare or more that you'd like to donate, reach out to us and that can be used to fulfill your auction item. Items/Gifts will need preapproved. Message us at auction@stpx.org.

Each class has a "Classroom Project" that they head up for the event. Classes create their own auction item to include in the event but we can't do it without help from our parents!
To bring class projects to fruition, there is at least 1 parent from each class that is the "Class Project Parent Lead". They will work with the teacher and parents to come up with an exciting project that can be auctioned. The Parent Lead will report to the Committee Lead (Elli Surber). Please contact us if you'd like to help with your respective class' project - either being the lead or helping the students with putting together the auction item.
-
A large part of our fundraising comes from the sponsorship of businesses for our event. There a multiple tiers of sponsorship, as well as businesses receiving marketing space in our auction catalog and bid sheets. If you'd like to help us with the important task of gathering sponsors, please reach out to our team (auction@stpx.org) to help!
