CKS Auction History

Started in 1984, the annual auction involves the entire school and much of the community.

 

• Online Auction - We invite the community to come and "shop" for great deals: weekend get-a-ways, restaurant gift cards, premium wines, birthday party packages and lots more! All can be accessed by going on the CKS Auction website.

 

• Night Gala - A gourmet buffet dinner and premier live auction with a professional auctioneer. A purchased ticket is required to attend the silent and live event.  This is the event of the year celebrating community and raising funds that directly benefit our children.

 

Why Do We Do It?

The annual auction is critical to CKS and is the most important fund raising activity of the year. The proceeds have an immediate impact on the quality of the learning experience at CKS. Due to the generosity of previous year's donations, we were able to fund programs such as state-of-the-art science kits, K-8th grade Spanish language instruction, a Learning Resource Specialist, MacBook laptops with cart, a 21st Century Library Media Center, and a brand new playground! Perhaps more importantly, CKS provides educational opportunities to families who otherwise would not be able to send their children to their local parochial school.

This year our goal is to raise $100,000 gross. This is a vital part of our core funding, generating approximately 10% of the school's annual budget.
