History
Our original three Parish schools each hosted an annual auction fundraising event to help meet the financial needs of our school prior to collaboration. The first year of the collaboration (2012-13 school year) there wasn’t an auction and, unfortunately, the school’s annual fundraising goal was not reached. Thankfully, the second year of MCES (2013-14 school year) our parents came together to launch the first MCES auction, “March Madness,” raising $89,000. The 2015-16 school auction raised $104,701.59! The money raised by the auction goes directly to the school’s annual operating budget which is a goal of $180,000. The call for cash which benefits the teacher bonus fund raised $26,600. This auction event not only raises money for the teachers but engages hundreds of parents and parish members. Goals
ALL MCES families benefit greatly from this event! Annually, the school has an $180,000 fundraising goal to meet our schools operational needs. The auction is the single largest contributor to reach this goal. The auction offers an opportunity for:
The auction is a fun event featuring casual dining, cash bar, silent & live auction bidding, and multiple different raffles. The event is hosted at our St. Mary Middle School Campus, free to attend and designed to get you mixing and mingling with your fellow MCES parents and supporters. There is limited amount of tables that can be reserved for a fee. Click the links below to learn even more about the event:
