This is not a formal sit-down dinner or a stuffy fundraiser. It’s a chance to get dressed up (possibly in something floral-inspired?), take in those skyline views, enjoy some tasty bites, groove to DJ beats, bid on some great auction items, and get to know each other better.
While our kids shine on stage and screen, keeping us busy all year, this night brings together the adult community behind the scenes — parents, alumni, teachers, administrators, staff, and other friends.
Yes, it’s an important fundraiser for the PPAS PTA and proceeds go directly toward enhancing production quality and the overall arts experience for every PPAS student. This year we’ll also be honoring our wonderful Parent Coordinator Teri Gindi with the Reach for the Stars Award!
Regular single tickets are also available now: $65 Bronze, $90 Silver, or $125 Gold per person. Gold-level attendees will receive 10 raffle tickets each for special items in addition to the silent, online auction. Silver-level attendees will receive four raffle tickets each and Bronze-level attendees get two each!
Unable to attend the event? Check out our online, silent auction launching April 17th – you can bid from anywhere – and consider purchasing one or more sponsored tickets to host teachers, administrators, and other members of our community who might otherwise not be able to attend. We’d love to celebrate with everyone!
Raising performing arts kids can be full-on. This is our exhale. Sunset. Skyline. Community. Please join us and get your ticket here today!
The 2026 NYC School Survey deadline has been extended to April 17th! A paper copy was sent home with students.
Complete the survey on NYCSchoolSurvey.org, where it is available in 13 languages. You’ll need your students’s nine-digit student identification number, or OSIS, to begin filling out your survey online.
You can find the OSIS number on your student’s report card, or school ID card. Once on the Survey page, you must enter a lowercase “f”, followed by your child’s OSIS to access the survey. Note that the “f” must be lowercase.
Learn more and submit your survey at NYCSchoolSurvey.org.
Help us build an outstanding silent auction to support our kids!
Please help us succeed in our PPAS PTA Benefit Bash fundraising goals by gathering donations for our silent auction! The silent auction will be available online by April 19 and at our Benefit Bash on Sunday, May 3. All auction proceeds go directly toward elevating the arts experience for every PPAS student.
We’re seeking auction items of all kinds — and every contribution counts, big or small.
We welcome:
Consider the businesses you visit every day — the café where you grab and go, your florist, hairdresser, local bistro, gym, etc. Many small businesses are delighted to contribute, especially when they hear about your student’s journey and growth at PPAS. Donations are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.
Know a business owner? Reach out to your employer, local providers, family, friends, close connections. The more varied our auction items — at a range of values — the more funds we can raise while creating an exciting auction experience!
Together, we can make the 2026 Benefit Bash a powerful fundraiser and invest in an even richer arts journey for our students, while snapping up some fabulous items and treats for ourselves.
