Join us for a marvelous Masquerade evening on Friday, March 8th as we dine, toast and dance the night away at the Tuscan Spring Thing Annual Fundraiser! Each guest will enjoy a lavish dinner spread along with passed hors d'oeuvres & delicious deserts. Complimentary wine, beer and non-alcoholic beverages will flow throughout the night and, for guests who prefer cocktails, they will be available for purchase.
Weave your way through the rooms and bid on silent auction items ranging from broadway tickets, to photography packages to a movie night with one of the Tuscan Teachers -- all generously donated in support of our school by local businesses and community members. Raffle & Wine Pull Ticket holders have the opportunity to win exciting prizes such as 20 bottles of fine wine, a family membership to the Maplewood Pool & much more. Document this exquisite evening at the photo booth and make your way to the dance floor and see if you can recognize your fellow guests behind their masks.

The event also features:
- Silent Auction: All guests will receive a bidding number to use throughout the night so bidding will remain anonymous. The majority of items are in this category. Items will be displayed and a starting bid will be set based on a percentage of the item or items value. The bid increment will be set in advance. The winning bidder will receive and pay for the items prior to leaving the event.
- Live Auction: A small number of items will be offered via live auction. The winning bidder will receive and pay for the items prior to leaving the event.
- Wine Pull: Guests may purchase a wine pull ticket in advance or at the event for $20.00. The night of the event, the ticket holder will pull a number from a bowl. They will receive a bottle of wine with the corresponding number to take home. The wines will range in value from $20 to $90. Everyone goes home a winner in this category!
- 50/50 cash raffle: This raffle is $5.00 a ticket (or $20.00 for 5 tickets, only available online prior to the event). The winner takes home 50% of the cash raised by the raffle, Tuscan PTA takes home the rest. Tickets may be purchased online. Winner doesn't need be present to win!
HOW TO DONATE
In order to make the event a success, we rely on our talented and generous parents and community to donate items, tickets, services, and vacation timeshares to the committee to be auctioned at the event.
- Auction Donations: The committee will be accepting donations in January and through the end of February. If donating a service or vacation timeshare, please be sure to include the expiration date or “use by” date (typically within 6 months to a year). Please use this donation form to submit an auction donation.
- Class Baskets: Each class will be assigned a theme (i.e. superheroes), and families are asked to donate a small item relating to the theme. The items will be collected in the classrooms in the month of February. These baskets are always a huge hit in the Silent Auction.
- Teacher Experiences: Our devoted teachers all donate experiences and parties for a small group of children which are auctioned off as part of the Silent Auction.
- Local Business/Corporate donations: Our local businesses generously support Tuscan every year with donations! If you can help solicit and gather donations, please be sure to contact the committee at tuscanspringthing@gmail.com.
