During cocktail hour attendees will enjoy drinks and bites while using their phones to bid on silent auction items. Bidding is done at https://Lafayette2022.givesmart.com. Then there will be a live auction with items including Dinner for 12 at Supra, a Hot Air Balloon Ride, Capitals Tickets and a Pizza Making Lesson with the Little Beast Chef!

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST? Tickets cost $90 per person in advance, $100 per person after 4/16 and $110 per person at the door. You can buy tickets at https://Lafayette2022.givesmart.com. Please buy tickets early so we can get an accurate headcount to better plan for this unique outdoor event and keep the lines moving at the door! Financial assistance for tickets is available. Consider making an additional donation, buying a ticket for a teacher or giving money for hoodies for the school’s staff. Also, email LafayetteAuction2022@gmail.com to coordinate donating red or white wine for the bar for the night of the auction. Every bottle helps!

WHAT KINDS OF ITEMS ARE AVAILABLE FOR AUCTION? Items are at every price range and include stays at vacation homes, restaurant certificates, services, Class Creations made by the students, Teacher Experiences hosted by the teachers and tickets for special Kid or Parent Parties. Can’t come to the auction? You can still participate in the auction at home by bidding online.

WHAT ARE KID & PARENT PARTIES? Lafayette families work together to host creative themed parties for adults or kids to help raise funds for the school. The host family (or families) pay for any expenses associated with the party. Party guests are the people who purchase a spot during the auction. Email lafayetteauction2022@gmail.com to host a party!

WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO SUPPORT THE AUCTION? With 875 students, Lafayette is the largest public elementary school in D.C. but it receives less money per student than other schools. The funds raised play a huge role in supplementing programs and supplies not provided by DCPS. Funds buy instructional materials and supplies, stock library shelves, provide more art, science, after-school programs and support social-emotional instruction, including our Peace Program.

Email lafayetteauction2022@gmail.com to host a party, donate wine, donate an auction item or for more information. See you on April 30th!
