Who can attend the event?
While we encourage all SJCS families current and alumni and extended families to attend our fall fundraising event, everyone is welcome. Invite your friends, neighbors, and fellow parishioners.

What do the proceeds from the event go towards?
This is our biggest fundraising event of the school year and proceeds fund a large percentage of our school’s budget. Proceeds from the Caddyshack Soirée will be used to pay our teachers’ salaries, curriculum and day-to-day operating costs. In addition, monies raised will allow us to continue providing quality education for our students and keep tuition affordable for all families and especially those who qualify for tuition assistance.

What should I expect at the event?
This will be a fun evening out for everyone! Please continue to check our website for updates about the event. We will also be adding Live Auction items on the website so you can get an idea of what items you’d like to bid on.

How does the Live Auction work?
Every guest will receive a bidder number when they check in at the event. To participate in the live auction, simply raise your bidder paddle. A bid is official only when formally recognized and called by the auctioneer. When the auctioneer calls "SOLD", legal title to the article passes to the highest bidder. Please note that all sales are final. There will be no exchanges or refunds.

When and where do I get my winning items?
You can claim your winning items at the end of the night in the pick-up area. Some larger auction items will be available for a later pick up as arranged by the event coordinators.

My school contract requires I purchase two tickets to the event, but I am unable to attend. What do I do?
While we encourage every family to support St. Joseph Catholic School and attend the fundraising event, we understand that not everyone may be able to attend. You may choose to purchase your tickets to fulfill your Active Faith Contract requirements and give your unused event tickets to a family member, friend, teacher, parishioner or to the SJCS front office. If you do not plan to attend and do not plan to donate your tickets, please do not purchase your tickets on the event website; you will be billed for your tickets via FACTS after the event.

Do I have to purchase my tickets on the website or can I write a check?
Yes, all ticket sales and sponsorships need to be completed on the website. This will help us streamline purchase sales and organize our guest list for the event. If you prefer to write a check, you will register online and use the discount code "CHECK" at check out. You will need to deliver your check to Mrs. Debbie Williams at the SJCS front office.

When I purchase my tickets online, I am given the option to pre-register my credit card to charge my purchases at the event. What does this mean?
At this year’s event, we will be using an auction software that will allow attendees to register their credit card prior to the event (or at check in). Each attendee will be given a bid number to use throughout the evening. This bid number will be used in the silent auction, live auction, to purchase drinks, and for all other money transactions throughout the evening. No need to stand in line to check out after the event because your purchases will be summed together and you will receive an email the next day. Pre-registering your credit card will lessen your check-in time and give you more time to enjoy the event.

Another family purchased a sponsorship and offered to give us two tickets to the event. Do I still need to purchase tickets to fulfill my Active Faith Contract requirement?
No. Each Active Faith Contract family is required to purchase two tickets to the event. However, tickets included in the sponsorship may be used to fulfill multiple families contract requirements. Please be sure to indicate who will be using each ticket included in the sponsorship when it is purchased to ensure each family receives credit for their tickets.

My family is purchasing a sponsorship. Do we get a private reserved table at the event?
Only gold sponsorships will receive a private VIP table. However, all sponsorships will receive preferred seating, recognition in the event program, recognition on the SJCS event website, and recognition on the SJCS event social media sites.

Our family will be donating an item to the auction. Does this donation fulfill my requirement to purchase two tickets to the event?
No. Per the Active Faith Contract, each family is required to purchase two tickets to the event. However, donating an item to the auction may fulfill a certain number of volunteer hours decided on by the Principal. Please contact Amber Maduell with questions: amber.maduell@gmail.com.
