Your support is directed specifically toward need-based financial aid. We all benefit by ensuring that Providence is financially accessible to a wide group of families, and your contribution to this effort is much appreciated. This year’s auction theme, “Awakening Wonder,” resonates with classical, Christian education. A primary goal at Providence is to encourage and inspire students to think beyond themselves, to marvel at not only God’s creation, but to marvel at the holiness of God. All of learning culminates in a person: Jesus Christ. In Him all things cohere (Colossians 1:17); In Him we find truth and a path to the Father (John 14:6); in Him we live, and move, and have our being (Acts 17:28). To awaken wonder is to teach in a way that allows the student to see God’s truth in all reality, to see beyond the material, and to meditate on the higher things. The best education, as John Rustin wrote, “Is to make people not merely do the right things, but to enjoy the right things – not merely industrious, but to love industry – not merely learned, but to love knowledge – not merely pure, but to love purity – not merely just, but to hunger and thirst after justice.” Not an easy task today, but nevertheless a goal worthy of our efforts. We appreciate all the folks who have contributed to make this evening possible. We welcome back the talents of John Curley as our auctioneer, and a special thanks to Mark Sandeno for serving as our master of ceremonies. Finally, thank you to Cory Marshall and our auction team – Shannon Wilson, and Stacey Sykes, among others – who have prepared a wonderful and entertaining evening. May God bless you as we seek to honor Him at Providence. With gratitude, Ryan Evans, Headmaster 2 Event Schedule Attire: Creative black-tie optional Location: Where you are most comfortable and ready to bid! 3:00 pm Registration Begins & Bidding Opens Gift Card Grab Envelopes Greenridge Landscape Golden Tickets 7:00 pm Youtube Live Stream Begins Auctioneer: John Curley, Radio Personality and Celebrity Auctioneer Master of Ceremonies: Mark Sandeno, Providence Parent Greenridge Landscape Golden Ticket Winner 7:05 - 7:50* pm Specialty Eye Care Group Virtual “Live” Auction 7:50* Ronald Blue Trust Sponsored Fund-A-Student 7:55* Goal Update Thank You & Farewell *or earlier if we move quickly 3 Explanation of Games & Special Programs Greenridge Landscape “Golden Ticket” The Auction Committee is offering a raffle for the Grand Prize of one Live Auction item of the winner’s choice.
