“Somewhere something incredible is waiting to be known.”
Carl Sagan
The 18th Annual PTAA Benefit Auction is just around the corner!
Join us for an out of this world experience on February 21 at Prestonwood Country Club as we look to brighten the future of Cary Academy students. You will be transported into a futuristic galaxy with live music, a wonderful dinner, and lively bidding.
The Auction is the PTAA’s one and only fundraiser which provides the budget for the entire school year. With your participation, CA can continue its progressive efforts toward education and technology as our world moves at a galactic speed into the future. With the exception of a few consignment items (which will be noted), all Auction items have been generously donated by parents and businesses in the community, so every dollar you spend on Auction items goes directly to support CA PTAA.
We will be using Bidpal auction software this year, making it easier than ever to preview and bid on items, purchase event tickets, purchase raffle tickets, and make donations.
