AWARD RECIPIENTS ST. ANTHONY OF PADUA FOUNDERS AWARD:

Lynice and Mike Wing Our school is happy to honor Lynice and Mike Wing as this year’s recipient of the St. Anthony of Padua Founders Award. Lynice and Mike Wing have made a significant impact to our school community.

Lynice was an essential leader of our PTO organization (now Paduan Parents), serving as President for several years. Mike continues to serve as an advisor on the School Finance Subcommittee. They have given generously of their time, talent and treasure in many ways from on- and off-campus volunteering to serving as chairs for the gala to their consistent support of our fundraising efforts, even as alumni parents. They have always been true ambassadors of STAOPCS, and we are thankful for the countless hours they have given to support our school community.

ST. ANTHONY OF PADUA COMMUNITY PARTNER AWARD:

We are honoring a business in our community who has consistently invested in our school, our students, and our staff through their generous support of our mission and vision. This honor is given only when a business or organization is identified for their exemplary dedication and commitment to St. Anthony of Padua Catholic School. We are pleased to announce the recipient of this year’s St. Anthony of Padua Community Partner Award is Woodforest National Bank. Woodforest’s support includes sponsoring our first scoreboard on the athletic fields, consistently sponsoring our advancement efforts, and promoting fiscal responsibility through their student banking programs.

Their steady patronage to our school enhances and enriches our programs and inspires us to reach higher levels of performance and achievement. We are very grateful to have a community partner like Woodforest.

FUN FROM 2017 GALA!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS WHAT IS THE GALA? The St. Anthony of Padua Catholic School Auction Gala is the largest fundraising event of the year for our school! It is a PARTY, a FUNDRAISER and a COMMUNITY-BUILDER all rolled into one! This year there are casino games, entertainment, dancing, great food & drinks (wine, beer, cocktails), and fabulous auction items.

WHAT DOES THE MONEY GO TOWARDS? Like the Fund for St. Anthony, proceeds support the programs that make St. Anthony of Padua the great school that it is: talented teachers, enriching arts and athletics programs, library and instructional resources, technology, and much more.

WHERE WILL I SIT AT GALA? You can ask to sit with specific people at the Gala when you purchase your ticket (there is space to indicate seating preferences on the online ticket purchase form), but if you don’t make a specific request, every effort will be made to seat you at a table with STAOPCS parents who have a child in the same grade as your child.

The Gala is a great way for new parents to meet other STAOPCS parents!

WHAT DO I WEAR? This year’s event is “Cocktail Attire”. Translation: A suit and an elegant party dress and a killer pair of heels or dancing shoes! Feel free to let the theme be your guide!

WHAT TYPES OF AUCTION ITEMS DO YOU TYPICALLY HAVE? Our Live and Silent Auctions feature exciting auction packages including travel, dining, sports, luxury goods and one-of-a-kind experiences. In addition, we offer: Class projects (an item organized/created by each grade), teacher experiences, and school offerings (one-of-a-kind special experiences for the child of the winning bidder). Currently, auction item offerings range in value from approximately $20 to over $7,500.

WHAT IS INCLUDED IN THE AUCTION?  Teacher Experiences will be available for bidding on our Auction Website (www.501auctions.com/staopcs) from March 5—March 23.  Silent Auction items will be open for bidding on April 3rd at: www.501auctions.com/staopcs  Big Board (Class Projects) and Live Auction bidding is not available online and will only be available at the event! If you aren’t able to attend this year’s event and would like to bid by proxy for Live Auction or Big Board, please contact advancement@staopcs.org.

HOW DO I BID ON AUCTION ITEMS? You need to first register on the www.501auctions/staopcs web site to create an account. You may have already done this if you have purchased a party or social. Once you are logged in, you can select an item you wish to bid on, set your bid and press enter. You can also use the following tools to make bidding easier:  WATCH ITEM – set up items to “watch” for easy reference later  MAX BID – set your maximum bid for an item and let the max bid robot bid for you automatically raising your bid by the next bidding increment until your max bid is reached or the auction ends. You will be notified via smartphone if you have been outbid.

All of these features will be available as soon as bidding is begins!
