FAQs


WHO: All SFA families, parish members, and guests are welcome and are encouraged to attend! Parents-only event.

 

WHAT: The theme this year is CASINO ROYALE!  Join us for a fun-filled evening of fellowship, and the opportunity to bid on fantastic silent and live auction items to help support the school for the following year's SFA School Leadership Council budget!

 

WHAT'S INCLUDED: Beer, seltzer, wine, seated dinner, entertainment & mingling.

 

ARE THERE VIP TABLES AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE?  Yes!  VIP tables are $2,500.  That pricing includes admission for 10, premium wine, reserved, premium seating, and a swag bag.  

 

IF I DON'T PURCHASE A VIP TABLE, WILL I HAVE A PLACE TO SIT?  Yup!  Each ticket includes a seat at any open table.  First come, first serve.

 

WHAT SHOULD I WEAR? Cocktail attire is welcomed, but certainly not mandatory. With this theme, we thought it would be fun to wear something a little jazzed up, but we totally get it if that's not your thing. Business casual is always acceptable!

MORE ABOUT HOW YOUR PARTICIPATION HELPS! 

The annual Bid 4 the Kids auction is our school's largest fundraiser! All money raised goes directly to our SFA School Leadership Council for curriculum enhancements including field trips and bussing, STEM, related arts, teacher support and hospitality including birthdays, playground maintenance, class parties, and other identified needs for growth of our school. All of which can be reviewed on our 2024-25 SFA School Leadership Council budget summary found here.

As we approach regionalization, it is important to note that all money raised stays within SFA and will continue to support our students as they grow in their Catholic faith and develop academically. Just your attendance at the event helps financially, plus adds to the overall enjoyment, sense of community and fellowship! Thank you for being part of the SFA community!
