2026 Benefit Bash Online Auction

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:  

  • Gift cards (even a coffee treat from Starbucks!)
  • Dining experiences — from your favorite local takeout to high-end restaurants
  • Holiday stays or getaway packages
  • Artwork, collectibles, luxury items, sports memorabilia
  • Tickets to sporting events, Broadway shows, movies, concerts, performances
  • Gift baskets and specialty products
  • Professional services, college coaching, headshots, classes
  • One-of-a-kind experiences

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.
