SJB Families and Supporters,
Help us make this year’s auction one for the record books! We are aiming to shatter attendance records and sincerely hope you will consider joining us! Not only is our auction a super fun event full of laughter and connection, but all monies raised directly impact SJB, supporting our students and staff in endless ways. No plans to bid? No problem! Join us anyway! The deep connections of our community are the true diamonds of SJB and time together is just the pressure those diamonds need to grow!
If you can’t be there, you can still participate by sending in donations, buying & selling raffle tickets, inviting friends, and bidding online. More information on all of those things can be found below!
We can’t wait for another fun and successful SJB Auction! See you there!

FAQs
Do I need to plan on bidding to attend? Nope! We’d love to shatter attendance records this year! As a team, we truly feel the more, the merrier! The reason this event is so special is because of our community! A community that grows stronger when we share time! Even if you do not wish to participate in the live or silent auctions, please come and enjoy the evening with friends (and meet some new ones!) There is plenty of food and conversation to be shared!
What should I wear? Come on down with your Price is Right themed apparel/name tages OR come dressed in your favorite casual jeans. Whether you love to dress up in theme or prefer something a bit more laid-back, you’ll fit right in!
What happens at the auction? The evening begins at 5:30 PM. You can browse hundreds of items in the silent auction, purchase raffle tickets, play games for mystery grab bags, or simply enjoy great conversation. Don’t miss the Big Cash Raffle, which will be drawn at 9:00 PM (you don’t need to be present to win). Guests eat, drink, laugh, and mingle!

The Baskets are Coming!
We are still seeking donations to craft into beautiful baskets but here are some works in progress! Baskets will begin to line the hallways of the school so you can continue to preview when you visit!
Here are suggestions on what/ways to donate:
- Look around your home! Returns that weren’t made in time? Gifts that you received that aren’t needed and can be re-gifted (donated)? Extra candles or other basket fillers piling up? We will take any new items you are willing to part with! Anything and everything can be made into a basket by our skilled team of arrangers!
- Visit our Amazon wish list and select an item(s) from there.
- Cash – cash is always helpful for a random array of auction event needs. (can be dropped off in the office or donated on the Auction website!)
