More than 270 guests attended 26th Annual Auction “What Makes YOU Tick?” on April 20, 2013, and $440,574 was raised for the school!

The day of the auction presented itself with a flurry of snow and cold temperatures, but that didn’t stop our amazing parents, alumni, and friends from setting up a beautiful event. Auction Chairs Kara Guerin, Susie Keller, and Helen Rho tented the outdoor patio to house more than 275 silent auction items collected by Rachel Allen and her acquisitions procurement team. Kristen Hammel orchestrated a team of production volunteers to set up the live and silent auction display areas.

During the Live Auction, 14 items were auctioned off, which raised more than $193,000 during dinner alone! The evening was a huge success and brought the SA community together for an inspiring evening of generosity and fun. A special thanks goes out to our sponsors, donors, and guests for their participation, inspiration, and philanthropy toward Sewickley Academy’s Annual Auction!
