ABOUT THE EVENT
Auction 2025 is Epiphany School’s biennial spring fundraising and community-building event. Diversity, access, and inclusivity are school priorities, and a successful auction allows us to deliver on the promise of making an Epiphany School education available to all who are admitted. In addition, Auction 2025 also helps fund our operating expenses, ensuring that we continue to provide innovative teaching in a caring and inclusive environment.
In addition to raising money, Auction 2025 is an opportunity to come together as an entire school community. This event reinforces Epiphany School’s values and helps ensure we achieve our school mission. Auction 2025 is also a chance to celebrate and learn more about our school and the reasons our community continues to give generously, year after year. It is the legacy of family, inclusion, and innovation that makes Epiphany School so special. We invite you to come see for yourself!
HOW CAN YOU HELP?
Buy Your Ticket
Not everyone can donate or volunteer, but attending is just as important! RSVP and purchase tickets when they go on sale January 28th. A ticket includes a seat at our formal dinner, along with access to the live auction, silent auction, and evening festivities.
WHY DO WE HOLD THE AUCTION?
Funds raised at Auction 2025 support both Epiphany School’s financial aid program and critical operating expenses. We are committed to supporting families for whom tuition would otherwise be a barrier to attendance. In addition, the auction helps fund the programs, resources, and experiences that make Epiphany School a vibrant and inclusive community.

QUESTIONS ABOUT SEATING?
When tickets were purchased, families had the opportunity to share seating requests, and we’ve done our very best to accommodate them. Everyone who submitted a request has been placed with at least one of their preferred guests.
Our goal is to make this a positive, community-building event where parents can connect with both familiar faces and new ones. Our team puts great care into creating thoughtful and balanced table assignments, keeping in mind the wide range of requests, preferences, and the need to welcome all attendees.
Thank you for your understanding—we’re so looking forward to a wonderful evening together!
