Quelle soirée épatante! Nous nous sommes _éclatés_ au maximum!
What an amazing night! We had the best time!
Our first (in person) Auction since 2019 was an incredible success, both in terms of entertainment - how could it not rock as a "90's Dance Party" 😉- and achievement of our fundraising goal < in fact we smashed it 💰💰💰💪🎉
We want to thank the intrepid Chair of the event, Holly Mar-Conte & the fantastic Committee members (Mawr Bass, Rachel Buciarski, Amy Clifton, Lauren Jackson, Elle McLean, and Marie Wallmark) for coordinating such a fun and exciting event. Bravo! to Joe Niesley for doing a fantastic job as MC and auctioneer with gusto. Huge round of applause for Aaron Little & 'Alive!' for the awesome tunes that took us back in time. A special thank you to Rachel Henderson for creating a heartwarming video that highlighted the tremendous benefits of our Intern Program (one of the PTO's prime fundraising objectives).
We are so grateful to the Sponsors of the event whose support laid the foundation for our efforts to be fruitful:

Our gratitude goes out to Chef Tamisha and the team at Mishjacks Catering for providing an incredible taco bar that covered all the bases as it knocked it out of the flavor ballpark! Thank you to Claim 52 Kitchen and Abbelone Vineyards for the generous donations of beer & wine respectively - as well as to all the parents who contributed bottles to our impressive array of wines that were enjoyed throughout the night! The beautiful living centerpieces generously donated by Down to Earth brought a commemorative (Earth Day) touch to this special night, and the gorgeous Jamie Joseph ring donated by NEWTW!ST was such an elegant feature of our auction offerings.
And last but certainly not least - HUGE THANKS to everyone who contributed, donated, bid on auction items, and brought the party vibes to make our event a night to remember - and raised the bar on our goal setting for next year! 👏💐
