Welcome to the 2020 Tuition Assistance Auction! So glad you’re here! I want to personally thank you for your support of this very important event. Your participation helps make it successful and is very much appreciated. No matter what your role, each one is vital to the success of this event. The Tuition Assistance Auction could not be accomplished without your involvement and support. NorthPointe Christian Schools continues to award approximately $500,000 each year in tuition assistance. Nearly one in four students that currently attend NPC receives assistance. The generosity of God’s people makes this possiBle. You play a significant role in giving these families the opportunity to receive an education that is Christ-centered and seeks to honor God. “My husband and I are grateful for tuition assistance at NorthPointe. Without it, our son would not be here. We are happy to be able to lend our support for this year’s auction.“ – A family receiving assistance Once again, we are Blown away By the donations--so many! The new items added to the 2020 auction and the repeat items are all amazing! As we start our evening, remember, we do it for the kids, for the families, and ultimately for Jesus Christ. Be cheerful in your giving! Bid high and Bid often! RememBer that every dollar you spend will go in its entirety to tuition assistance and will Be used to fulfill our mission of “Equipping students to impact their world for Jesus Christ. Have a great night tonight! Many Blessings, Todd N.
