BUY TICKETS NOW @ JUAN DIEGO CATHOLIC SCHOOLS AUCTION A community event for supporters 21+ The Auction Committee can be reached at auction@skaggscatholiccenter.org We are pleased to announce the all new, combined Juan Diego Catholic Schools Annual Auction, to benefit Saint John the Baptist Elementary, Saint John the Baptist Middle School, and Juan Diego Catholic High School. In the past, the auction has supported SJBE and SJBMS, and we are excited to be partnering with JDCHS to make this a campus-wide event! The theme for this years auction will be Pirates - A Caribbean Adventure. This annual celebration is a high energy event with both live and silent auctions, dinner and dancing. The event raises critical money for our schools. Our goal for this years auctions to raise more than $250,000 to support our students education including investments in innovative teaching tools, technology and financial assistance. Auction proceeds are vital to help our students meet the academic challenges of their future. As this is our only fundraising auction of the year, we need you, the friends and families of our Catholic schools, to help make the event a success and raise money for our students. We need you not only to attend or volunteer the night of the event, but to support your classroom auction projects and help us by donating items for the silent and live auctions. We thank you for sharing your time, talent and treasure and for your support of the Juan Diego Catholic Schools Auction!
Thank you to Tooele Auto Mall for their generous support as our overall auction sponsor! Table sponsorships and additional event sponsorships are available -- additional information is located here. The Auction Committee is Looking for Donations We are very excited and grateful for the generous donations we have already received for the auction, but we still need much more to make the night a success. If you are wondering what kind of items you can contribute to help the auction, here are a few ideas: Do you own or work for a business that could donate goods or services? Do you have a timeshare, cabin or a vacation home you could donate for a week or weekend? Do you have theatre tickets? Do you have tickets to sporting events or concerts? Do you have sports memorabilia or unique art pieces to donate? Do you quilt, craft or make jewelry? Would you and your friends like to pool resources and put a basket together? If you donate an Auction Basket with a value of $250 or more by February 1, 2019, your name will be entered into a drawing for a reserved table of eight (8) for you and your friends. In addition to the entry into the drawing, you will earn 10 service hours for your donation. (Please note this offer is separate from the donations made to the classroom/homebase projects.)
