The Green Valley Learning Fund is a non-profit organization whose mission is to raise funds to bridge the gap between state funding and the actual cost of the full educational experience we strive for our children to have. The Learning Fund is not affiliated with PTA. Click here to learn more.

Learning Fund is an Education Fund that is committed to funding Instructional assistants (IA’s), a Makers Space IA, our beloved Librarian hours, lunchtime sports, reading Interventions/ Resources, classroom materials and professional development for our teachers. These programs are NOT funded by our district.

Without the additional funding from our families, we would not be able to offer these programs to our children and further enrich their education. Click here to learn more.

The Learning Fund hosts two annual fundraising events: a "Fun Run" in the fall (also known as APEX) and the annual auction event. Other fundraising campaigns include: our annual registration ask at the beginning of the school year, Giving Tuesday, year round employer matching initiatives, etc. The auction is different because it provides an opportunity for our community to come together and raise our glasses as well as our paddles for a dedicated Fund-A-Need. The Fund-A-Need appeal is jointly identified by school staff and the parent community as a critical project or program, and the funds raised during the Fund-A-Need paddle raise are restricted to that campaign.

We offer multiple sponsorship levels and underwriting opportunities with various recognition and promotional benefits. Please contact auctiongve@gmail.com to inquire about sponsorship. 

Guests with full access tickets will enjoy a welcome reception with teachers and staff as well as a seated dinner. All dinner guests will participate in a paddle raise to support the annual Fund-A-Need during an inspirational mission ask. The evening will also include a live auction and more exciting ways to give. This year’s theme is The Colts Kentucky Derby. The attire for this event is “Derby Fancy”. (DCC dress code policy requires men wear a collared shirt with sleeves and slacks/pants.) Jacket recommended, not required. While valet is available for our event, we encourage ride-share or taxi to ensure safe transport.

We understand your concern and we are so happy that you are considering joining us for the auction. None of the ticket price benefits Green Valley Learning Fund. The cost of the ticket simply covers our costs of delivering a great experience to all of you, our supporters. The ticket fees include access to a beautiful, local venue; great food and drinks; DJ entertainment and more. We hope you will support the Learning Fund through our inspiring Fund A Need program at the event.

Guests may purchase a table which seats 10 guests and guarantees seating together at the table. Guests purchasing individual tickets will have access to open seating at remaining available tables. Open seats will be first come, first served so please plan to arrive early to find a seat/s together. We will not accommodate seating location requests. 

The Silent Auction will be available pre and post event (check back for dates and times) and will feature auction lots such as baskets procured by each classroom, as well as experiential teacher treats, and more. Previews of GV Buy-in Parties (fka: Pay to Plays) will be made available to our entire parent community. Buy-in parties ranging from themed dinner parties to wine tastings, sports outings, art or fitness classes, are formatted as a group buy-in, so many people can bid and take advantage of other social gatherings throughout the year which still benefit the Learning Fund. Proxy bids and honorary family matching opportunities are also available, please contact auctiongve@gmail.com. 

In addition to raising funds, the Auction is a great way to get involved in your school and have fun getting to know your Green Valley Community. Plus it's a really fun parent's night out! Email auctiongve@gmail.com if you would like to help volunteer!

This special fundraising event offers year-round volunteer opportunities or for all skill-levels and backgrounds. Please contact auctiongve@gmail.com to inquire about joining a sub-committee.
