The auction is a community event and fundraiser. Current and past parents and guardians, faculty, staff, alumni, and more convene for a celebratory evening and enjoy delicious food and drinks, bid on items in a live and silent auction, and raise funds for our beloved programs.ÌýÌý

This year, our auction—with a mind boggling magic show—will take place on Saturday, February 28, 2026 at the Claremont Social Club, 214 Hillcrest Rd., Berkeley.

Tickets are $130. We will have an early bird special with 30 tickets priced at $100, so get your tickets on Tuesday January 6th!

No, tickets need to be purchased online before the event.

All ticket sales are final and we cannot offer refunds if you do not attend.

We want to make sure everyone who wants to attend can attend. If the price of the tickets creates a financial hardship for your family please contact Lynsey (lkamine@auroraschool.org) as soon as possible.

The auction is an event for our entire adult community. You must be 21+ to attend. We encourage parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles, alums (21 years or older!), friends, and neighbors to attend, so please spread the word.ÌýÌý

Not presently.

We encourage you to come dressed for a magical night out—sparkles are the theme! Wear as much or as little shimmer as you like. No matter what you decide to wear, we’ll roll out the red carpet for you.

The Claremont Social Club is in a quiet residential neighbourhood so we encourage carpooling or car services. Your first stop is our check-in area, where you will receive your bidder number and assistance setting up your payment information on our auction platform (Auctria) if you haven't done so before the event. Use your bidder number to participate in the paddle raise and to bid on items generously donated by local businesses and our community members. You can enjoy drinks, delicious food, great music, and dancing between our silent and live auctions. At the end of the evening, you will pick up your winning items to take home!  

Instead of a plated dinner, we will have an open seating format for attendees to create more gathering and community-building opportunities. We will have a robust menu of food options, from lighter appetizers to heartier entrées. We will also offer delicious  gluten-free, vegetarian, and vegan options for those with dietary restrictions.ÌýÌý

Receipts will be sent by email shortly following the event. If you've signed up for a student or adult party, the host(s) will contact you with further details. 

We are so sorry to miss you! If you cannot attend, we invite your support in various ways. You can: 

• .ÌýÌý
• Do you have connections to a local sporting event for a quintessential Bay Area experience?  
• A group of friends you would like to with? Be creative!
• You can bid in the online auction which will have lots of great gift cards and experiences!
