Annual Auction
Plans are underway for our 6th Annual Auction on March 20, 2010! As the largest fundraiser of the school year, our Auction is a true community effort. Item donations come from parents, alumni, friends of St. Chris, local and national businesses, and even our students! On the night of the event, over 200 parents and friends of the school gather for a fun-filled evening of silent and live auctions, raffles, appetizers, dinner and more. Proceeds from last year's Auction was over $30,000 and went towards academic and financial aid programs at St. Chris.
Auction Theme:
Our theme for this year's Auction is "You Make a World of Difference".
Vacation Raffle:

A $20 ticket gives you the chance to win a 5 day/4 night trip to Disney World OR a 5 day/4 night trip to Las Vegas OR a $2,500 check!
