A highlight of Casino Royale is our incredible Silent and Live Auctions, featuring carefully curated packages, exclusive experiences, travel, dining, entertainment, jewelry, sports, family fun, and unique items you won't find anywhere else.

The Silent Auction opens prior to the event, giving guests time to browse and bid before the festivities begin. During the evening, our Live Auction will feature a select collection of extraordinary packages and memorable experiences, followed by our annual Paddle Raise, where every gift—large or small—helps make a meaningful difference for our school.
