The J.O. Wilson PTA Presents...Cardinal Auction Night Party

Cardinal Auction Night Bidding Is Now Open!

Bidding is now open on the Cardinal Auction Night 2022 32Auctions website!

Thanks to many generous donors in our community, we have over 100 items available (and more coming in), with something for everyone. Here's just a small sampling of items:

Tickets to concerts and sporting events
Kids' activities
Summer camps
Restaurant gift cards
Party packages
Keepsake items created with love by J.O. Cardinal students and staff
Teacher and staff experiences
And so much more!

Reminders:

We will continue to add items as we receive them, so please check back often.
It’s not too late to purchase a ticket to attend Cardinal Auction Night in-person the evening of Friday, May 13th. While we hope you can join us for drinks, food, and fun conversation, attendance is not necessary to bid on and win items.
Bidding will remain open until Friday, May 13th at 9:00 pm (EDT).
You can also make a monetary donation through the 32Auctions website (look for the green 'Donate' button near the top-right corner). Any amount helps; no contribution is too small.

Auction proceeds will be used to improve the educational experience of all students. Please share with friends and family - near and far - to help us meet and exceed our goal of raising $15,000 for J.O. Wilson. As an incentive for all families: if we meet our fundraising goal, students get to have a schoolwide pajama/dress down (uniform-free) day!

If you have questions about bidding, or anything else auction-related (including how to help), please email the PTA. Thanks for your support!

Sincerely,

J.O. Wilson PTA
