Spring Benefit & Auction
Where is Now & Always being held?
Once again, this year's event will be held at The Gateways Center, the beautiful new event venue at the Morristown Unitarian Universalist Fellowship. The address is 21 Normandy Heights Rd, Morristown, NJ 07960.
Parking at the venue is plentiful, and it is centrally located for ride shares or Uber drop-offs!
Why Should I Come?
Joining us is the best way to show your support for Red Oaks - plus, it's going to be FUN! You can enjoy good food and drinks, great conversations, and dance the night away. As always, there will also be amazing auction items to bid on, a Treasure Chest auction, and the ever-popular Grand Raffle. There will be something for everyone!
What Should I Wear?
Our motto is "Dress to Impress" - be stylish! Show your style, but be comfortable!
Can I Bring My Children?
The evening is an adult-only event.
Why are We Doing This Again? Where Does the Money Go?
When we come together, we reinforce the strength of our community and the commitment of a shared purpose to support and raise money for this school that commits to excellence in educating and caring for its students. The funds raised help cover operating expenses, professional development for Red Oaks teachers, and pay for specific equipment needs of the school. Tuition doesn't cover all the costs of the operating expenses - what better way to help bridge that gap than a fun party?!
What is the Cost to Attend?
Tickets are $150.00 per person; of that, $135.00 is tax deductible.
What If I Can't Attend?
We will miss you! However, you can still participate by:
- Bidding in the auction virtually through RedOaks2026.givesmart.com.
- Purchasing Grand Raffle tickets, on sale in advance of the event. You do not need to be in attendance to win.
- Purchasing a ticket for a faculty member to attend the event.
Can I Help Sponsor This Event?
Yes! Sponsorships are greatly appreciated and an important contribution towards the overall cost of the event!
Can I Bring a Friend?
Of course!! You can purchase as many tickets as you'd like, and we welcome friends of Red Oaks, grandparents, and neighbors. It will be a wonderful night out to support the school. The more attendees, the more we can raise funds, which will directly impact the Red Oaks students.
Other Helpful Hints:
Charge your phone prior to the event! All alerts and main auction bidding will be done through an easy-to-use website on your smartphone.
Who Shall I Contact if Cost is a Concern?
