Rock the Boat

There are many ways you and your family can support our event and our school.

 We welcome the opportunity to discuss any of the following options with you.

Fund for Financial Aid Paddle Raise

What is a Paddle Raise? It is a commitment to make a 100% tax deductible monetary donation to a specific initiative which is called a Fund a Need.

This year, we will continue to build upon the Fund for Financial Aid, which was launched with great success last year. Your commitment to the Fund for Financial Aid is made by raising your bid paddle during that portion of the live auction. Paddle raises will start at $10,000 and continue to $100.

Our Fund For Financial Aid not only helps to enrich our school community, but it demonstrates our commitment to diversity, inclusion, and equity. We are proud to be making a commitment to share our outstanding school with students who could not otherwise afford to attend.

At MP&MS we feel strongly that it is not only the student who receives the aid who benefits from a robust financial aid program but the community at large. Tuition Assisted families currently make-up 15% of our student body. Tuition assistance can also include help with our hot lunch program and after school activities.

Silent & Live Auction

Our silent auction will be held entirely online. Check back often as we will be adding a robust and exciting catalog of items as we get them. A selective collection of one-of-a-kind opportunities will be offered during our live auction the night of our event.

The silent auction will go live online Monday, March 16-Friday, March 27.

Premium Wine Donation

Every year one of the live auction items is a collection of fine wines from donors' private cellars. We are currently accepting donations of bottles valued at $100+. Please contact [email protected] to arrange a donation.

Additionally, wine clubs are often happy to donate a bottle to their members charitable affiliations.  We are happy to provide a sample letter and to procure the wine.  All that we ask is that you reach out to your wine clubs on our behalf. 

Donate an Item

Do you have season tickets to a local sports team? A house in wine country or Tahoe? A friend who owns a local restaurant or store? Special access to a cool business or facility? These are just a few ideas!

We will gratefully accept your donation by Monday, March 2, 2020. Please stop by or contact the Development Office to donate. [email protected]
