Silent Auction 

The Wiley Way Soirée silent auction is an online opportunity for our community to share and bid on unique and exciting items at a range of price points. You can participate in the auction as a donor or bidder whether you attend the Soirée or not!  The auction will be live October 11-18 -- watch for our announcements about how to bid. Sign up to donate an item in the "Sponsor This Event" section of the ticket page.

Why Your Support Matters
Proceeds from the Soirée benefit the Cecilia Rawlins Fund and the Wiley Elementary Foundation—directly supporting our school in areas beyond the PTA’s scope. Help us make a difference! All proceeds from this event and auction are shared 50-50 by the organizations. 

What to Wear

Festive/cocktail attire. The party venue features both indoor space and a tented outdoor grass area, so we discourage spiky high heels.

Parking 

Parking on site is limited, but front door VIP parking is included in several sponsor packages! There is on-street parking when the small lot fills up. We recommend ride sharing services.
