FAQs
How does it work to host a community party?
Discuss with friends and brainstorm party ideas you all would like to host - see past auction catalogs for party ideas or this page for inspiration.
Set a date, a location, how many attendees you intend to invite, and your budget with your host team. The cost of the party is your donation to the PTA. Email auction@springerpta.org for any guidance or to bounce ideas around.
Once you’ve got an idea of the details and a group of hosts, let the auction team know by completing this form: https://forms.gle/DUpfxFXwhGuiPb4KA
The auction team will reach out to make sure your date doesn’t overlap with other competing things and help you set an admission price. That admission price will be paid by your guests and go directly to the PTA as a part of the fundraiser. Typically, kids' parties are $25-30 per child and adult parties are $40-$75 per adult BUT the pricing may vary depending on the scope of the party (cost of alcohol, food, etc).
Please note, as a host you should NOT buy a ticket for your party. We assume you’ll be there!
What happens during the Parent Gala?
Guests arrive at the venue, check in and receive a bidder number. We’ll enjoy some much needed connection time with other parents, teachers, and guests while enjoying delicious foods and awesome cocktails. The climax of the event, the LIVE AUCTION, is when you will use your number to bid on items that have been generously donated from businesses, Springer families, Springer teachers and staff, and hopefully even YOU! Bring your bidder number and your game face!
What’s included with the Parent Gala ticket?
As a gala guest you’ll enjoy a themed night overlooking the golf course complete with cocktails, wine or beer and dinner while mingling and catching up with good friends or meeting new ones. As the sun sets, the LIVE AUCTION begins including 5-9 high profile items auctioned to the highest bidder. Think vacation home rental, first pitch at the SJ Giants game, travel packages, school parking spots, sports tickets, unique experiences, and maybe more!
