We look forward with eager anticipation to this event as one of the highlights of each school year! To make this evening happen, many members of our community work together for a common cause – to create an event that is beautiful, fun, and productive for our school. For all who attend the Auction, it is a time to celebrate who we are, while financially supporting our mission to graduate students academically and spiritually prepared to lives of faith in service to others. Each year we are amazed at the generosity of our community in helping us reach our goals. Proceeds from our auctions have helped us to enhance our educational programs, support our teachers’ instructional needs, and provide tuition assistance so that all families who value Catholic education have the opportunity to do so. The fruit of our effort is clear as we hear repeatedly from parents, high school teachers and administrators about the preparedness, success, and strong faith values of our graduates. Those of you who have attended the Auction can look forward to fun familiar features that will be back – Bubbles for Baubles, Heads or Tails, appealing raffle items, and the highly coveted class gifts! There will be exciting new features as well. This year we are introducing mobile bidding! This feature will allow you to follow your bids on your smart phone or at stations manned by “table angels.” In addition, we will have an “artist in residence” who will create a piece during the Auction and have it ready for you to take at the end of the evening! I extend my heartfelt thanks to many, many people who make this evening possible. I am especially grateful to Keri-Ann Byrne who is chairing the Auction for the fourth consecutive year, and to our sponsors who so generously support us. Countless volunteers, including parents, grandparents, teachers, and students for many months and through this evening have contributed parts that come together into a beautiful creation. Finally, I am thankful to you, our guests for joining with us in this important endeavor for Charlottesville Catholic School. All glory to God for His work through you. So bid often, bid high, enjoy time with friends, and celebrate our greatest blessing- the children!

Our changes began last summer when some of our long-time auction volunteers relocated and moved on from CCS. Change is never easy as I lamented the loss of my experienced and valued volunteers who along the way became friends. However, as usually results, others find their way to step forward and work to fill the shoes of those before them. I have been so blessed to have so many new families who have come forward to help in a variety of ways, even while never having attended the Gala Auction. With these new families, not only came new volunteers and friends, but also new donors, advertisers and sponsors. Please take note of our generous new contributors as well as our previous, loyal supporters who have traveled this adventure with us for many years. Our entire CCS community thanks them for their generosity that has made our 16th Annual Gala Auction possible. The other great change taking place this year is the elimination of our trusty bid sheets to be replaced by the new initiative sweeping silent auctions this year, Mobile Bidding.
