Welcome to ABVM’s 2025 Annual Auction Gala!
EVENT PAGEBID-SILENT AUCTION BECOME A SPONSOR
Our Annual Auction Gala is the school’s largest fundraiser. Each year the event features a “themed” evening with delicious cuisine, entertainment, dancing and lots of fun. There are always great silent and live auction items to bid on.
It’s time to celebrate and help provide students with the materials, opportunities, and experiences that make Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary School unique.
We are looking forward to seeing you and appreciate any way you can support Assumption School in one or more of the following ways:
- Donate an item or service to the Silent/Live Auction
- Become a sponsor
- Attend the Gala and bid on silent and live auction items!
On behalf of the entire community at Assumption School, we thank you in advance for your generosity and support.
Sincerely, your Gala Co-Chairs,
Christopher Wong and Megan Poehler
