What is Bids for Kids? Why Donate Now?
Bids for Kids is an online auction with 100’s of items that support our Preschool. The auction will go live at 12.01 AM on Friday, November 7th and will close at 9:00 PM on Friday November 14th 2025.
The proceeds collected help provide scholarships for families who are experiencing financial need. It is also a major source of funding for the special needs program S.P.R.O.U.T. Using proceeds from last year’s auction, the Preschool created two rooms for resources and sensory play, where therapists and teachers are able to come in and work with children in small groups or one on one.
What/How can you donate?
You can donate items to help fill the amazing class baskets listed below. The baskets are among the many items/events that will be open for bids starting November 7th.
