Auction

Every year, St. Thomas School holds a live and online auction to raise vital funds for the school. Due to the ongoing restrictions on large gatherings in Washington State, the 2021 Auction will feature an online auction and a virtual "live" auction.

We are very excited to bring our live auction directly to your living room this year! We will livestream our auction program on Youtube via an unlisted link, which you can view on your smart TV, laptop, or mobile device. You will be able to access the livestream from our online bidding platform. Using new mobile-bidding software, you will interact directly with the program by bidding on live items and participating in the raise-the-paddle.

Sit back, sip on some lovely Washington wine and snacks (be sure to preorder your party pack!), and enjoy the evening.

The online auction opens Friday, March 5, at 9:00 a.m. and closes Tuesday, March 9, at 9:00p.m.

You do not need a ticket this year, but you will need to register in order to bid on items and receive the livestream link for the virtual "live" event. Registration is free and easy, click the "Get Started" button on our online bidding page and follow the prompts. Please note that the online bidding page will not be available until March 5.

In lieu of tickets, this year we encourage everyone to enhance their experience, and support STS, by purchasing a Better Together Party Pack from the auction website. More information is below.

While we are unable to gather together this year, we still want this to be a fun, memorable evening! Your purchase of a Better Together Party Pack will include delectable treats and fun goodies to enjoy during our live auction, and can be picked up prior to the event from STS.

We are so grateful for your support of the Live Auction, and thank you for forwarding last year's purchase to this year's Auction. The Development Office will be in touch with you directly to discuss.

Many quality items and one-of-a-kind experiences will be available for bidding in our Online Auction. You’ll find teacher experiences, the ever-popular SAGE dining experience, and buy-in parties.

Yes! Jennifer Winter will be taking student portraits this year, but we have had to make a few adjustments due to current circumstances. In a normal year, portraits are taken in January and February, before the Auction. To photograph students in the safest environment possible, portraits will now be taken in May in an outdoor setting/studio. You can still purchase your child's portrait through the Auction website.
