Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Why is the Marist Auction important this year?
The proceeds will be dedicated to fill the gap between tuition income and the true cost of operations. The actual cost of educating a student is almost $12,000 while tuition is $8,900. You will also have an opportunity to donate to important projects by "raising your paddle."
Who attends the Marist Auction?
Everyone is encouraged to attend the auction! We love to see past and present parents, alumni, and their friends. This event is a fun and wonderful opportunity to connect with the entire Marist community!
What should I wear to "Be True To Your School?"
Most important, dress comfortable because we want to have a good time! Then, for fun, if you want to get into the 60's feel of the
night - think retro 60's before we turned the corner into the psychedelic 70's: anything from the Beach Boys surf look to the British invasion "mod" style, from Jackie O pillbox hats and tailored suits with pearls to shift dresses and pantyhose, from miniskirts and go-go boots to cropped trousers and flats or tennis shoes...Guys, pull out your old letterman sweaters or jackets, khakis, button-downs, plaid shirts, narrow pants and skinny ties.
If I can't attend on May 14th, how can I help?
There are a variety of ways, and you can choose what best suits your situation:
- Donate gift certificates for dinners, services, etc.
- Sponsor auction items or activities with a cash donation
- Volunteer your time by collecting auction items, helping with set-up, or contacting the Marist Development Office at 541-681-5469 to assist us with other tasks needing assistance.
If I don't have a designated table for the evening, where will I sit?
We'll make every effort to seat you where you'll meet other parents and supporters and have a great time! If there is someone whom you'd like to be seated near, please note it on your registration card and we will make every effort to accommodate you.
Grandparents who live out of town would like to bid on a package. Is that possible?
Yes! With contact and credit card information, we can assign them a bid number and you can bid on their behalf.
