The Alvarado PTA proudly presents
the 23nd Annual Alvarado Auction!

The Auction is the biggest fundraiser of the year, supporting all of Alvarado’s academic enrichment programs. This event is made possible by the generous support of local community businesses, and the hard work of our many volunteers. All funds raised directly support every Alvarado enrichment program, including — science, math, art, music, literacy, physical education, technology, after-school clubs, gardening, science, field trips, and much more.

The theme of this year’s auction is “New Orleans Masquerade Ball”.

We invite you to wear a mask and dress in your finest, but for folks who aren’t in the mood to “go all out”, we will have some fun masks on hand for you to wear.

When: Saturday, March 5, 2016

Where: SOMArts Cultural Center, 934 Brannan St, San Francisco

How can I support the auction?

Many hands make light work!  If you are new to Alvarado, welcome! We invite you to ask about how you can volunteer. It takes hundreds of volunteers to make the auction a success, and together we throw not only a great fundraiser but an awesome party! Most of the auction work is a series of small tasks that can be done from home. Every Alvarado family is invaluable, so please let us know if you can help, even in a small way.

Please see our “How to Help” page for details.

You can email us at auction@alvaradoschool.net to let us know how if there’s a particular job you’re interested in.
Silent Auction: If you are a local business, please contact us at auction@alvaradoschool.net to donate goods or services.

What if I can’t attend, but I’d like to support Alvarado otherwise?

Options for supporting Alvarado are detailed on our school webpage.
