Our auction is such a success each year due to the wonderful, generous, and unique items that are donated by our community and you! We would love it if you can put together a themed basket. We encourage you to work with other St. Brendan school or parish families.
Whether you work alone or with many families, please sign up HERE to let us know you’re working on a package. Please include the other families’ names on the sign-up; the families you indicate will work together to buy items to complete the silent auction basket. If you would prefer to donate cash, you can make a check out to St. Brendan Home and School Association or give online HERE.
The link contains many different categories, but you are welcome to create your own theme. Our goal is to get a variety of packages, and please note, we would like these to be put together in a basket or some other format, ready to be bid on for the event. Most will be used in the silent auction, but higher demand packages may be placed for live auction bidding.
See the 2024 Personal Donation Letter for more information.
If you took a tag from the Giving Tree at church, please return them to the bin at church by February 1st or drop them off at the school office. Thank you!
Do you own a business or know a business owner who would be interested in being a sponsor or donating an item or service? Please forward the letter below to the person who makes decisions for the business. Donations can be made by check or online in our GiveSmart App HERE.
Many volunteers are needed to help set up and to work the night of the auction. If you are attending the event, you can volunteer for a shift, or if you are not purchasing a ticket, you are welcome to volunteer for the whole evening. We also need volunteers to sell raffle tickets after masses between 2/3 – 2/18. Questions can be directed to our auction chair, Joy Bair at jbair1@cdeducation.org if you want more information on volunteering.
To volunteer to sell raffle tickets after masses click HERE.
Volunteer opportunities for setup, night of and clean up can be found HERE.
Our annual raffle is a 50/50. We will sell 500 tickets at $20 each with the winner getting $5000 the night of the auction. You do not need to be present to win! Tickets can be bought starting in early December on our bidding site. Consider asking friends and relatives to participate by purchasing a raffle ticket.
Tickets are available on GiveSmart for $60 each. VIP tables of 9 with one of our priests as your VIP are available for $1500. See the auction invitation under Auction Communication.

Our silent auction will be available for bidding approximately two weeks prior to the event. Please invite friends and family to view and bid on items on the GiveSmart App. Once available, you will be able to access the silent auction HERE.
