Here's the skinny: You'll want to join us for the annual QAE PTSA auction—a far-out night that will make a huge difference in the lives of our children, while celebrating everything that makes QAE so special.

 

This year we're doing it in style with a groovy 70s theme! Costumes optional but encouraged!

You’ll be part of a stellar group of people rallying around the kids to provide them with social-emotional learning, reading and math specialists, supplies, and so much more (see the PTSA fundraising page to learn more about the programs we fund).

There will be a silent auction, a live auction, dancing and a slammin' celebrity auctioneer: John Curley! 

 

The timeline will be:

5:00 - 6:30PM: Check-in
5:00 - 6:45PM: Silent auction and cocktail hour
7:00 - 9:00PM: Dinner and live auction
9:00 - ?? : Dancing!

 

Also stay tuned for the online auction catalog; we'll announce when bidding is open.

 

It'll be out of sight.

Ticket sales are now closed. Thank you for your support and see you on March 10th!
