Auction FAQs

Theme: MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE

Date: April 6, 2024  

Time: 5:00pm Location: The Seven Hills School Campus What is the Auction? 

A long-standing tradition, the Auction is our biggest community-building event of the year and a fundraiser where parents and faculty come together to connect with friends, meet new parents, and deepen relationships within our community while raising vital funds for our students, faculty, and program. 100% of all auction proceeds benefit Seven Hills. I purchased my ticket, but do I have to buy more items while at the Auction?

By purchasing your ticket, you are supporting Seven Hills. There’s no obligation to buy anything once you arrive – unless, of course, you’d like to. The auction offers lots of different items at various price points for all. Just come for the fantastic company and community!  I’m new to Seven Hills or haven’t attended the auction before. Is this event going to be fun for me having not met many other Seven Hills’ families? 

Yes, it is! In advance of the event, grade level auction reps will reach out to their grade level families to help coordinate tables. Auction reps will get you seated at your grade level table. You can reach out to your auction rep to request to sit with families you know within your grade. Tables consist of 10 people.  What’s the attire for the evening? Do I have to dress in costume? 

One of the really fun things about the auction is that parents and faculty love to come dressed in theme, and the interpretations are varied and fun. This year, come in any and all secret agent and spy attire—come dressed as a detective, Blue from Blue's Clues, 007 himself, or Perry the Platypus; get classy with tuxedos, black suits, or long gowns; or keep it simple and grab your favorite spy t-shirt.

Costumes are not required.  What can I expect on the night of MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE?
