Spring Fundraiser Frequently Asked Questions
 


What is the format for EpiCuriosity: Bridgerton Soirée?  Our event will kick off on Monday, March 17, 2025, at noon with our silent auction. After you are registered, you can bid on packages with your mobile device throughout the week. New packages will be added daily until our main event on March 22, 2025. Silent auction items will be available for viewing at our event this year! There will also be a LIVE auction and Fund-A-Wish for you to participate in.

 
How do I bid on a silent auction item? Silent bidding will open on Monday, March 17, 2025 at noon. Once the silent auction opens, you will receive a 'welcome' text on your mobile device with your personalized bidders link. After clicking the link in your text, you will be ready to look at all the items and place some bids! New items will be added daily. The silent auction will remain open until 10:00 p.m., Saturday, March 22nd! That is a full 6 days of fun!  Learn How To Bid here.

 
How do I bid on a live auction item?  Just like the silent auction, you must be a registered guest to bid on our live auction items, which you can do here. The live auction takes place in person the night of the event. Bidding on the live packages cannot be done on your mobile device you must be present at the live event.


What is Fund-a-Wish?  Every year WSM raises money to fund program enhancements. Our goal is to pick a cause that can be used to help out students 13 months through middle school and at both campuses. Registered guests can donate to this cause via their mobile devices at any time. During our Fund-A-Wish, bidders are given the opportunity to financially donate towards this year's cause: Enhancing Outdoor Play spaces and Equipment.

 
If I attend the Spring Fundraiser Virtual Event, will I be expected to bid on something?  There are no requirements for guests during the event, but we hope you will help support our school. Buy a raffle ticket, bid on an auction item, or donate to our Fund-A-Wish.

 

How much is the admission?  Tickets to the event are $125 per person. We also have many different levels of sponsorships that include admission!

 
Can I purchase tickets now?  Yes! You can go back to the main page of our event website and scroll down to purchase tickets.

 
What do I wear?  This is where the fun begins! We love to have fun with the theme of our events! Who doesn't love a reason to get all dressed up and have fun!? Check out our Pinterest board for inspiration on what to wear here.

How do I pay for my auction win(s)?  Paying for your items is simple. The credit card that you registered with will be charged for your purchases and/or donations at the end of our event.
