We expect at least 250 guests. Please consider donating a silent or live auction item to promote your business and show your support for excellence in local public education. As a show of our gratitude, we will:

 Highlight your business and donation in our online auction catalog  Beautifully display your donation at the evening auction  Acknowledge your business as a supporter of PCS and public education in our community
