BUY TICKETS TO ATTEND
Invite family & friends
|
Buy your tickets today -- reserve a table of 10 for you and your family and friends, or choose our couples package for two, or an individual ticket. Our evening at The Pierre begins with sumptuous hors d'oeuvres and top-shelf stocked beverage bars at our reception during our silent auction, followed by incredible gourmet cuisine, fine wines, and decadent desserts. RSVP by November 7. 
We encourage you to buy your tickets online. When you do, you preset your BidPal auction account. Yes, BidPal is back by popular demand of our guests. Parents continue to rave about being able to bid without having to interrupt their conversations or having to walk from the dining room back to the silent auction area. And, automatic checkout makes pickup quick and easy.

DONATE SILENT AUCTION ITEMS
Think about what you can donate
|
 Do you have a special talent, such as cooking a gourmet meal? Do you have any vintage or unique jewelry to donate? Can you donate one week at your beach house or mountain retreat? Could you donate a gift certificate to a retail establishment or online retailer? If you are a regular customer at a store or a restaurant or a hotel, ask them to contribute. Most businesses are happy to thank you for your loyalty.
THE MORE ITEMS WE GET, THE MORE FUNDS WE RAISE
We ask that all items be at the school by November 9. Please include the item's value, if possible, and the Auction Item Donation Form if you want a tax donation letter in return.
Drop off donations for gift baskets and silent auction items during Parent/Teacher Conferences on NOVEMBER 3 (Lower School) and NOVEMBER 9 (Upper School). Or anytime before November 9 in the Upper or Lower School offices or in your child's backpack.

LIVE AUCTION
We're looking for exceptional experiences
that cannot be found anywhere else.
|
Can you or do you have a relative, friend, or business connection who can donate a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity? From trips to international destinations and resorts to a walk down Hollywood's red carpet to a round of golf with a public personality to Superbowl VIP tickets to Meet & Greet opportunities.
Contact Karen Elder: email kelder@summitqueens.com or call 718-264-2931.

RESTAURANT GIFT CERTIFICATES
Donate $25 or more
|
 We ask each family to donate a minimum of $25 toward the purchase of restaurant gift certificates, which are always hot commodities and often sell for twice face value at the silent auction. Our selections include the best of the best and are intended to indulge our winners. Some of our restaurants: Boulud Sud, The Modern, Eleven Madison Park, Le Bernardin, ABC Kitchen, to name a few.
So many of our families have donated and some have been extremely generous by doubling and even quadrupling our request. Thank you, thank you.
If you haven't already done so, please consider making your donation today.
