About Us

Thank you in advance for supporting this year's "Under the Big Top" auction. As our first in-person auction in four years, we hope this evening proves to be a captivating evening with fabulous items and packages to bid on, loads of entertainment, and plenty of socializing.

The core beneficiaries of the Marist School's 11th Biennial Auction are the students and faculty at Marist School. Auction proceeds can be classified into two groups serving three beneficiaries.

1. FUND A WISH is a live "drive" on event night. All dollars raised serve ONE SPECIAL PROJECT.

2. AUCTION PROCEEDS are the monies raised in the Auction itself. These funds are generated by donated items and sponsorships. 

• 90% is divided equally across BOOSTER CLUB, MARIST ARTS GUILD & MARIST PARENTS CLUB. With this money, almost instantly these parent driven initiatives are able to pay for equipment, uniforms, materials, supplies and MORE! From funding milestone events like Project Graduation to ensuring we have working vehicles for academic and sports competition transport, to wardrobing our thespians and vocalists - our kids are our biggest and most immediate beneficiaries.

3. MARIST ENDOWMENT helps ensure the long-term financial health of Marist School and preserve the student experience, a portion of the proceeds will go to Marist's endowment.
