Angels Among Us - Q&A
Why does Ave Maria have an auction and where does the money go?
The auction is the school’s largest fundraiser. Proceeds from the event are used to offset tuition increases, purchase the most up-to-date textbooks and educational materials, as well as, state-of-the-art technology equipment, software. Additional excess funds will support the school’s operating budget. We depend on the revenue from this event each year to meet the many needs of our school.
How much are tickets and how can I get them?
There will be several prices of tickets. More information will be on The Herald soon.
When and Where is Angels Among Us?
Angels Among Us will be held on November 11th, 2023 at Colorado Golf Club.
What is the theme and attire for the evening?
This year’s theme is Great Gatsby! 20’s themed attire is strongly encouraged but not required. Dress up or down, expect to have a great time! The night features our silent auction, appetizers, and cocktails, followed by dinner and live auction presentation. End the night dancing away to a DJ! It will be a wonderful evening full of fun!
What items will be available for bid at the auction?
EVERYTHING…our list includes trips, parties, class projects (created by your children), sports memorabilia, home décor, and many other exciting items!
How do I turn my Auction Donation(s) and Donor Form(s) into the school?
Send your donation and form with your child c/o Angels Among Us/School Office. You may also take your donations directly to school office. The donation form will be on The Herald soon.
Where do all the auction items come from?
Parents are the major donors of all the items. We are asking each family to donate one item. No item is too big or too small. Is there a talent that you would like to share? This is a great opportunity to sell your service. Don’t necessarily have the time or talent? We are always in need of monetary donations to help make packages extra special. Ask businesses you frequent and/or your place of employment to support our school. This is a great opportunity to give back to the community. If you have any questions, please contact Annette Alvarez, [email protected].
What can I expect the night of the auction?
First of all, plan to arrive on time – 5:30 pm, that is. There is so much to see at our auction that you will really have to move fast to see it all. After check-in, you’ll be able to browse the Silent Auction and place your bids on your favorite items. We’ll move to a sit down dinner around 7:00pm and proceed to the always-lively Live Auction. There will be a DJ after the Live Auction so you can dance the night away.
I can't attend the auction, but there are a few things I saw in the Auction Booklet that I would really like to have....what can I do?
There will be on-line bidding for some of our silent auction items. You will also be able to preview our live and silent auction items via the event website. Bid online or enlist the help of a friend who is going to the auction.
I am not sure we should come to the auction. I have heard that things go for a lot of money.
Remember, one of the goals of the auction is to bring the parent community together! We’d love for you to attend, even if you don’t want to spend a lot of money. We pride ourselves on having a wide range of items up for bid. In years past a lot of items sold for under $75 each.
How can I help? I work full time or I have a baby at home.
There are SO many different ways to contribute to this event. Will you offer your time and energy to help with decorations, solicitations, data entry, writing or set-up on the auction day? Or can you lend some muscle power to the delivery team the day of the event? Many hands make light work. Click here to find out more
