The Parents’ Association’s 2025 Online Auction wrapped up at the end of January after a very successful week of community building and fundraising. 

The “Driven to Support Ravenscroft” event — which took place Jan. 21-26 and included a Jan. 25 social for parents, guardians, faculty and staff — was fueled entirely by parent volunteers. Co-chairs Katie Dill and Jacqueline Vollmer Viera led the Online Auction committee to success through their engagement with families, businesses and organizations across the country who donated goods, services and exclusive opportunities to our community. Popular items included mountain and beach getaways, campus parking and VIP concert tickets.

“We were so fortunate to have many generous returning and new donors from the Ravenscroft community, local and even national businesses. A big thank you to all of our donors, as we would not have been so successful without their support,” the co-chairs said. “Thank you as well to everyone who bid on these great packages as well as those who attended the social. It was wonderful to see so many people from our community come together in support of the school.” 

The event raised over $75K, with proceeds going to support the PA’s mission of building community and school spirit. In addition, in partnership with school leadership, the PA directs a portion of these funds as an annual gift that supports projects that benefit students, faculty and staff at Ravenscroft.

Thank you to Dill, Vollmer Viera and all of the volunteers who led the effort: Kim Roth, Kimberly Freeman, Sarah Iler, PA co-president Josefina Hanna and last year’s committee co-chairs, Tracey Shepherd and Amanda Harrell.
