2024 BHEF Spring Auction 

Frequently Asked Questions

WHAT IS THE SPRING AUCTION?

Every year the Bradley Hills Education Foundation hosts an adults-only auction and party in the Spring to help raise funds to pay for projects, initiatives or items that the school needs to provide an enriching experience for our students.

 

We need the support of our community to make the event a success! We look to our community and local businesses to help us raise funds through sponsorships, ticket sales, and the auction itself. 

WHEN IS THE EVENT?

We are excited to announce our 2024 date! Mark your calendars for April 6, 2024 at the AC Hotel by Marriott in Downtown Bethesda.

HOW MUCH ARE TICKETS? 

Tickets are $100 per person and include food, open bar, and entertainment. 

WHEN DO TICKETS GO ON SALE?

Tickets are sold out! Thank you to everyone who purchased tickets and we look forward to seeing you at the event

WHAT CAN I EXPECT?

The event is a fun night to celebrate our school and enjoy an open bar, great food, music, and fun with other BHES parents! There will be a silent auction showcasing local vendors and establishments. Ultimately, the event is a fundraiser and whether it's through a ticket purchase, a tax-deductible business sponsorship, an auction donation or volunteering your time with our auction committee, your contribution is appreciated. 

WHERE DOES THE MONEY GO?

Unrestricted gifts in the form of sponsorships, ticket sales, winning auction bids and cash donations may support the yearly budget of the Bradley Hills Education Foundation to offer ongoing support to the school throughout the year. So far this year, the Foundation has funded numerous teacher requests, benches on the playground, landscaping upgrades, books for Weller Road students, and more.
