ATTEND & HOST Community Parties
Like a birthday party where guests donate to a charity in lieu of gifts, community parties raise funds and bring our community together! Attend parties for kids, families, or adults!
Consider HOSTING! Parties can be for a grade level, a small group of adults or kids, or whole families and the activities can be as simple or elaborate as you wish. Teachers and parents host parties to bring our community together as their gift to the PTA.
If interested in hosting a party, check here for all the details and find inspiring ideas. Movie nights, pool parties, park playdates with ice cream, and anything competitive are always popular.

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 gala ?
Guests arrive at the venue, check in and receive a bidder number. We’ll enjoy some kid-free connection time with parents, teachers, and staff while enjoying delicious food and cocktails. We will have some live auction fun and announce raffle winners of items that have been generously donated from businesses, Springer families, Springer teachers and staff, and hopefully even YOU! The auction typically includes things like vacation home rentals, the first pitch at the SJ Giants game, travel packages, school parking spots, sports tickets, and unique experiences. If you have something to donate please email auction@springerpta.org. After the auction, we’ll dance into the night!
What’s included with the gala ticket?
As a gala guest you’ll enjoy a themed party overlooking the golf course complete with a buffet dinner & dessert, auction fun, and a chance to win raffle prizes. One raffle ticket is included with each gala ticket.
Why do we host the Springer Gala?
Proceeds from the gala are used by Springer PTA to host community events throughout the year AND fund things like library books, art and music programs, technology maintenance, playground equipment, school supplies AND MORE! To make this event a success and provide all these things, we need YOU to....ATTEND! DONATE! HOST A PARTY!
