Quick Auction Checklist: Tips for Families

3/10/2020

 
UPDATE: School is closed for the next two weeks. But our online Auction is going on. Let's use this time to rally together to support our students and our school!

There's been a lot of communication from the school and SPS during this crazy week. We know it's hard to keep up with everything, so here's a quick checklist of how YOU can support our students during this difficult time (all from your pajamas, with a glass of wine in hand if you wish).
  1. Make sure you have an account set up on the QAE Auction site. You'll need it for everything below! There are technically three different segments of the Auction that will be conducted online. Confused? Read on...
  2. Bid on over 150 items in the current Online Auction. There is something for everyone—kids camps, gift cards to great stores across Seattle, live shows and so much more (even fly fishing lessons!). Bidding on these items closes at noon on Thursday, so bid now and bid often! (It's for the kids).
  3. Clear your calendar on Friday evening for our "Virtual" Live Auction, happening from 7-9pm. This is where the amazing items ranging from a vacation home in Hawaii to super unique QAE experiences will be auctioned off. These items will be auctioned LIVE, meaning you'll have to be online Friday from 7-9pm in order to bid and win. If you're not there, you'll miss it. See the Friday evening schedule with all the goodies and be sure to be online then!
  4. UPDATE, CANCELLED - Come by the school on Friday for our Silent Auction Exhibition, in the Brick Building from 7:30am-4pm. Basically, this includes everything that would have been displayed and bid on at the event—student art projects, class baskets, extra cool succulent garden centerpieces and student photos. Take a look before or after school!
  5. We'll have a separate online "Silent Auction" starting on Friday. Basically, this includes everything that would have been displayed and bid on at the event—student art projects, class baskets, extra cool succulent garden centerpieces and student photos. These items will be available for bid until 6pm on Sunday via the Auction site. 

Whew! Got that? Basically, keep your eyes on the online Auction site from now until Sunday afternoon. Remember, we're trying to raise the $120,000 needed to support our school that we thought would come in during the in-person event. We need your help, every family at a level you can afford. Doing it online is unprecedented and, frankly, we're juggling a lot to make it happen. But these are unusual times—we hope our community can come together over the next few days to support our school (even if it's virtually!). See you online on Friday!

PS — one great upside to doing the auction entirely online: anyone can bid! Got worried grandparents on the East Coast? Neighbors who are wondering how to help? Anyone can create an account and bid online in the QAE Auction. Share with your friends and family!
