Lassen High School’s Class of 2025 will be holding an art auction full of wonderful and unique artwork on April 30th in the school’s Student Center, with all of the money raised going straight into the Freshman class fund.
“Our Class of 2025 was unable to hold their fundraising event at the beginning of the year due to COVID,” explains class advisor Rachel Vincent. “Given that we are just starting, they needed to find a way to raise some funds for future events and activities.”
These activities include future dances, class trips and fun events to unite the class.
“Our officer team and other freshmen voted to hold a Freshmen Art Auction that would showcase the work of the many artists we have in the class of 2025.
“We have some fantastic items donated by local business and community members that will be up for bid in our silent auction.”
The student art will be auctioned to the highest bidders during the live auction portion of the evening. The art viewing and silent auction will open at 5:30p.m and the live auction will begin at 6:30p.m.
The whole community is invited to come and support the freshmen class by bidding on their art, bidding on a silent auction item, or simply giving a donation.
Organizers are asking those interested in bidding on student art to be there by 6:00p.m. to register.
“Also,” says Vincent, “if there is someone who is unable to attend but wants to bid on a specific item, please email me at [email protected] and I will send an absentee bidder form. We will then have a student fill in for them and bid on their behalf for up to the amount they specify.”
If there are any community members who wish to contribute an item for the silent auction basket, or just wish to give a donation, they can leave it in the front office of the high school c/o Rachel Vincent or Liz Ammon. The Freshman Class will include your business name in their program as a way to thank you for your support.
Metalwork, woodwork, digital art, mixed media, ceramics, paintings and pencil drawings will all be a part of the auction.
