2026 Lafayette Live + Silent Auction
Saturday, April 25th, 2026 - Doors open at 5pm
Brockey Center, South Seattle College
We are pleased to invite you to the 2026 Lafayette Elementary School Auction: Leopards Through the Looking Glass. Fall down the rabbit hole with us as we enjoy an evening of good food, good drinks, and even better company. This annual gala is an opportunity to celebrate our Lafayette Elementary families and community members while furthering our support for the Lafayette PTA's mission to support the school's academic success and enrich the student experience while building a strong community.
This year's event will take place on Saturday, April 25, 2026 at the Brockey Center on the South Seattle College campus. When you attend the live event, you'll be able to experience the excitement of our live auction, bid on charming Class Art created and donated by each classroom, and dance the night away with fellow Lafayette supporters.
In the week leading up to our live event, supporters will have the opportunity to bid on a collection of fun items in our online silent auction. We are currently seeking unique and interesting items to auction off both in our online silent auction and our live event. In previous years we've received contributions like gift cards, private dining experiences, vacation homes, theater tickets, museum memberships, sports memorabilia, and more. All donations are tax deductible and will help our PTA provide funds for vital components of the school and help ensure the school is equitable for all students.
