BIG RED AUCTION 2025: BIG RED GOES TO HAVANA!
St. Edward School is hosting its biggest annual fundraiser, the Big Red Auction, on Saturday, April 5, 2025. The event, “Big Red Goes to Havana”, will celebrate our school’s 114 years of excellence in Catholic education. As part of the evening, we will feature online, silent and live auctions to raise money for our school operations. Last year, we had more than 150 people attend the event and more than 200 online auction bidders! We look forward to reaching even more people in our school, parish and alumni community this year. St. Edward is committed to providing students an affordable, high-quality Pre-K through 8th grade education on the northwest side of Chicago. St. Edward School was named a 2017 National Blue Ribbon Exemplary High Performing School and provides every student an incredible academic and spiritual foundation necessary for future success. Tickets will be on sale soon, but today we are writing to request a donation from you or your business. Our goal is to raise $75,000 from the Big Red Auction, which will be used toward educational resources, school improvements and tuition assistance for low-income families. We need your help to make our event a success! There are several easy yet meaningful ways for you to help: Donate an Item to the Auction: Can your business donate products or offer a gift card for an experience or service? Donations from local businesses help us create a robust and popular online auction. Donations of $250 or higher in value will receive in-kind donation recognition on event materials. Make a Donation: We appreciate any cash donation, big or small, that will contribute to our fundraising goal. We value your support and look forward to including you as a partner as we strive for educational achievement and spiritual growth for our students. Please use the included donation form or complete the online form to indicate your support for the Big Red Auction.
