Splash In-person Auction

TIME: 6:00PM
DATE: 3/16/24

The Splash auction in-person event is a fundraising event that will take place in the parish hall on Saturday, March 16th starting at 6:00 PM. Tickets will be $70.00 per person. There will be appetizers followed by a buffet dinner. To purchase tickets please click on the following link https://stphilshamrockinbash.maxgiving.bid/about-us

  • There will be a variety of desserts thanks to a dessert dash. The dessert dash works by having each person/couple at a table decide on how much they would like to bid on a dessert (for example $25.00 or $50.00) then you add up your entire table and that is your table bid. Each table selects a “Dasher” that will run to the dessert table when their table number is called. Then the auctioneer will call up the table that has bid the highest bid to choose their dessert. That table’s Dasher gets to the dessert table as quickly as possible and selects a dessert. The auctioneer calls out the table with the second highest bid and so on until all desserts have been chosen. It is a fun way to add some excitement into the evening. This year all proceeds from the dessert dash will be donated to the St. Philomena School’s Scholarship funds.

  • At the in-person event guests will have a chance to bid on items on silent tables. This means each guest writes down their bid on an item they want to purchase and then other guests can outbid them. The highest bid when the auction table closes wins that item.

  • At the in-person event there will also be the opportunity to purchase a mystery box for $50.00 which has prizes inside of them such as gift cards. There will be a restaurant board where guests can bid on and purchase gift cards to various restaurants. There will be an envelope game where guests put either $1.00, $2.00 or $5.00 in an envelope and if your name is called they win ten times the amount you put in the envelope.

  • Finally there will be a Live Auction where there are more extravagant items. The Live Auction will have between 12 to 15 items where everyone in the room can bid on the items by raising your bid card.

  • In addition to the wonderful items you can bid on, you can also support the 2024 Paddle Raise at both the online and in-person Splash auctions. . This year our goal is to raise $45,000 to help purchase Mimio Teach systems for each classroom, which is a wireless interactive whiteboard system.

  • You can also donate to one or all three of our Scholarship Funds which helps out students and families at St. Philomena School.

St. Philomena School has three established scholarships:

  • MARILYN BYERS gave decades of dedicated service to the St. Philomena School community and its students as a master teacher. When she retired, the Marilyn Byers Alumni Scholarship Fund was established in her honor to assist alumni families who have returned to St. Phil’s, this time as school parents.

  • ROBERT RUTH was a school parent, CYO coach, board member, parishioner, and husband of long-time St. Phil’s teacher, Mrs. Mary Ruth. After a short battle with cancer, Robert passed away six years ago. In his memory and in honor, the Robert Ruth Memorial Scholarship was established to assist student athletes in financial need.

  • GLORIA STRAUSS was a beloved St. Philomena student who passed away after a heroic battle with neuroblastoma cancer. The Gloria Strauss Memorial Scholarship assists students whose families are in need due to illness or other personal or financial challenges.
