Great Donations Make Great Auctions
The success of our annual MPAEF Auction depends on local businesses and families like you! We’re looking for exclusive, one-of-a-kind auction lots, experiences that money can’t usually buy. Think:
🎟️ VIP passes or tickets to sold-out shows and concerts
✨ Meet-and-greet with a local celebrity
🏢 Behind-the-scenes tour with an industry leader or sports icons 🏅
🏡 Vacation home stays and weekend getaways
🎉 Hosted parties, tickets to sporting or cultural events, gift cards, and more!
If you can offer unique access, experiences, or items, we’d love to include them in the MPAEF auction.

What are Parent-Hosted Auction Parties? These are parent-led gatherings that anyone can plan to support our schools. Generous hosts cover all event costs, so 100% of ticket proceeds go straight to support teacher and staff salaries and elective/specialist programs at Encinal, Laurel, Oak Knoll, and Hillview schools. These parties can be for:
KIDS (back-to-school pool party or party in the park)
ADULTS (Willows Wobble or Trivia Night)
FAMILIES (Stanford Football Tailgate Party)
