2022 Auction
Mark your calendars for our virtual auction!
The good news is that it doesn’t matter where you are in the world; you can take part in this year’s auction. There’s no need for babysitters or Ubers, and it’s up to you whether you get dressed up in sequins or wear sweatpants—or both! But one thing hasn’t changed: our current Glenridge families are working hard to put on a fabulous event for you with entertainment, great prizes, and some exciting twists! We’d be thrilled if you could join us to celebrate Glenridge and raise a glass, as well as some much-needed funds.
