What is the attire for the evening?
Let's Illuminate the evening with festive, cocktail attire!
How will I be seated at the dinner?
If you have multiple boys, you will be seated with your oldest son's grade unless requested otherwise. When purchasing your tickets, you will have the opportunity to list 1-2 families with whom you'd like to be seated. Given the logistical undertaking of assigning tables, all requests will be considered, but no guarantees can be made.
When and how do I purchase a ticket?
We encourage you to purchase your tickets as soon as you can! You can purchase your tickets on this site by clicking the "Buy Tickets" button on the Home page or by navigating to the Underwriting Page. After being asked to create an account, you will then be able to purchase tickets. Please note that certain underwriting categories include tickets to the event!
How do I bid on Auction Items?
Please register and create a GiveSmart account through our Benefit website to participate in the auction. Stay tuned! We will preview auction items starting in February!
There are many ways to participate in the auction:
- Buy It Now
Buy It Now items are available for immediate purchase starting the morning of Wednesday, February 5th. Items will be available to preview earlier that week. Quantities are limited and the items sell out quickly! - Bid With Friends
Bid with Friends items can be purchased with a group of people, including private lessons, exclusive outings, and special dining experiences. A designated bidder for the group should be assigned to monitor the item and bid throughout the night. - Silent Auction
Silent Auction items are available on our GiveSmart website and can be bid on throughout the evening of the Benefit. - Live Auction
Our favorite auctioneer, Pat Tully, will be hosting our live auction on February 7th at Cipriani 42nd Street! - Class Bidding
Class bidding is our way of providing each grade an opportunity to bid collectively on auction items for students and parents. A designated representative for each class will collect bids confidentially via email prior to the auction to determine your class' budget. This will then be pooled with your entire grade's budget and one person will bid on behalf of your grade at the benefit. Please contact our wonderful Class Bidding Co-Chairs, Julie Ratesic and Erin Riley, with any questions.
