This year we are excited to add The Mini Live Auction, which will only be available during the cocktail hour. It's just like a silent auction — but it's only open for 1 hour! The final sale of these items will close prior to the start of the evening's main events. You can't bid on these items on your smart phones, so be sure to find the Mini Live Auction area when you arrive. Click here to preview all of the great prizes.

Our students love spending time with their teachers and every year Bernard Zell teachers graciously donate their time by offering fun "Teacher Time" activities like bedtime stories, mini golf, and swim lessons. All families will have the opportunity to bid on "Teacher Time" items a week prior to our Annual Fundraiser. The auction will open on Monday, March 4 and close the evening of the fundraiser on Saturday, March 9.
