After a three-year hiatus, we are thrilled to announce the return of The Country Day School’s
Annual Dinner & Auction on
Friday, June 2, 2023! This is an evening you won’t want to miss as we come together as a community to celebrate our school’s 50th anniversary in the
transformed Cyclone Dome.
The CDS Dinner & Auction is our most anticipated adult social event, as well as the largest fundraiser of the year. The evening
features live music and entertainment, cocktails and dinner, a live and silent auction, and much more. CDS families and friends have been coming together to celebrate each year to make this event a huge success since 1974, raising in excess of $6.1 million dollars.
The success of the event every year is due to the generosity of our families and the CDS Community and this is where you can help! We encourage everyone to consider making a donation on behalf of themselves or their family.
Ways to donate:You can
donate an item, or make a
cash donation towards purchasing a live or silent item. Or maybe there is a business that you frequent regularly, or family member or friend that has something that is of interest that they may consider donating. To help you make your decision, we have included a list of
suggested items on the website. Please just remember, all items must be new and unused. All items available for purchase that evening are fully donated or supported.
Advertising opportunities:We also offer
advertising opportunities to businesses in our Auction catalogue. The catalogue is made available electronically in advance, as well as in hard copy distributed to all guests at the event. CDS does not offer any other advertising/promotional opportunities for businesses during the year, so this is a great way to promote your business to our community.
Mark the Date in Your Calendar! Auction tickets go on sale online
Monday, February 27th. Individual tickets ($275) or a table of 10 ($2750) will be available for purchase. We anticipate the demand for tickets to be high this year, so remind you that becoming a
sponsor now will guarantee your tickets prior to the February 27th date.
We require the support of our full community to make this evening a true success! For many of you this is the first chance you have had to either support or attend this annual event, so we understand you may have questions. We recommend that you take the time to visit our
Dinner and Auction website, speak with a member of our Auction Planning Team, or reach out to our Donor Relations & Special Events Manager,
Tracey Scott to discuss your donation.
Thank you to everyone for your support of this much-anticipated event. We look forward to celebrating with you in June!
