Silent Auction to Help School’s Growth

 

Richmond, IN – A silent auction in May will help raise funds to add more space for a growing Christian school in Richmond.

 

The Richmond Academy Parents Association will sponsor the Triune Banquet and Silent Auction at 6 p.m. Saturday, May 13, at MCL Cafeteria. Dr. S. Chad Ross, school headmaster, said the parents’ group is seeking sponsorship for the event, which is open to the public. “As with any fundraiser, sponsors are greatly needed,” Ross said. “The money we raise will be used to purchase furnishings and equipment as we move to our new facility. Our goal is to raise ten thousand dollars.”

 

Richmond Academy is open to all children grades Pre-K through 12. The school depends on contributions from individuals, businesses, and organizations to help achieve its vision of offering high quality education in a Christian environment for students and parents who desire it.

 

For those not able to make a cash donation, individuals or businesses may consider donating an item of value (such as a gift certificate, merchandise, etc.) that can be sold at the auction. All donors will be recognized at the event.

 

Tickets are available for ten dollars per person. The event features live entertainment and guests will enjoy a great selection of food purchased separately from the cafeteria. The number of tickets available is limited to eighty and will be sold on a first come, first served basis.
