About the Auction

Purpose of the Auction:

Parents, staff, students and friends of Forcey Christian and Forcey Christian Middle Schools donate their talents, treasures and time every two years to host a Silent Auction and Benefit Dinner.  This event provides much-needed money for the schools as well as a time of fun and fellowship for everyone involved.

Previous Auction Successes:

We raised approximately $25,000 dollars at our first auction (2005) and hope to raise an even more substantial amount of money to benefit both schools with technology upgrades and new furniture. Already this year, our "Change Makes Sense" program, which involves our children bringing in change to help offset the cost of their teachers' tickets, raised $3,800 this year, more than twice as much as the $1,600 total of the 2005 program.

Coordination:

A group of parents from both schools make up the Auction Committee.  These members volunteer their time and efforts beginning one year prior to the event.
