WHAT IS THE STILWELL AUCTION?

The Stilwell Auction is an annual tradition that has been raising funds for the Stilwell PTO since 2003. This exciting event brings together Stilwell parents and supporters for a fun-filled evening of community, bidding, and celebration.

Join us on Friday, March 7th, 2025, for this year’s auction, themed "Fore the Love of Stilwell". The event will feature live and silent auctions, delicious food, lively music, and a cash bar—making it a night you won’t want to miss!

WHAT DO WE DO WITH THE FUNDS RAISED?

The funds raised at the Stilwell Auction are crucial in supporting our students, staff, and families throughout the year. As our largest fundraiser, it provides the majority of the funding for the PTO’s programs and initiatives.

Our goals for the 2025 auction include:

• Providing teachers and staff with grant funding to ensure every student has the necessary resources in the classroom
• Fully funding field trips, class parties, and providing every student with a Stilwell spirit shirt
• Supporting activities and events for our students and families
• Continuing to offer scholarships to graduating seniors who attended Stilwell
• Funding community service projects for our students to participate in

By supporting the auction, you're helping us make a lasting impact on the Stilwell community and ensuring that these valuable programs continue to thrive.
