Annual Benefit Auction
On March 10, 2012 join us for our 26th Annual Benefit Auction at Uptown Body & Fender in Oakland – an event featuring silent and live auctions, great food catered by parents Carrie and Adam Dove, of Dove Catering, and music by The Smokin' J's, and attended by many families and teachers in our community. This is our biggest fundraiser of the year generating more than 60% of our Parent Faculty Club’s annual operating budget. We raised $115,000 last year with proceeds going towards funding music, art, language, science and physical education programs that the Oakland Unified School District cannot support due to budget constraints.
