2024 Auction FAQs

HOW CAN I SUPPORT THE AUCTION RIGHT NOW?
Help solicit or provide big ticket items/sporting event tickets, etc.
The Auction Committee has received amazing donations so far and we’re so grateful for what The LP community has contributed to this year’s event. We are now looking for concert and sports tickets, excursions and experiences, getaways/hotels. Keep them coming!!

WHAT EXACTLY IS THIS YEAR'S THEME?
All things sports! Bring your best, sportiest self to the auction! This could be as easy as wearing a baseball hat or team jersey, or as creative as using a movie (think: Cool Runnings) or tv show (think: Ted Lasso) for inspiration. No sports reference is too big or too small for this event!

WHAT CAN I EXPECT AT THE AUCTION?
A night of friendly competition, fundraising, and community building. Given our location at SPIN Boston, we will organize an LP ping pong tournament for those that are interested (and we hope that you are!). There will be additional games available, an open bar, passed hors d'oeuvres and a live Paddle Raise. Above all else, it will be an evening spent together celebrating and investing in the school and community we all cherish.

HOW DO I PURCHASE TICKETS?
Mark your calendar! Tickets will be available starting the week of March 4th. We will hold a community coffee in the morning and afternoon on Friday, March 8th. Join us to purchase tickets in person, get inspiration for your outfit, and ask any and all auction related questions. Tickets will be available through this website on the tickets tab. 

WHAT TYPE OF FUNDRAISING HAPPENS DURING THE AUCTION?
PADDLE RAISE: The Learning Project cannot be the community it is today without one of its founding principles: ensuring accessibility to a wide range of families. As with previous years, this year’s Paddle Raise will support The LP’s Financial Assistance Program.

SILENT AUCTION: With the goal of spending time together as a community (and lots of ping pong), we will once again make our auction available online this year. We are excited to bring back popular packages from the past as well as adding new items. All funds raised from silent auction will go directly to supporting The LP.
