Seating Information

Riding in as a Group? You’re welcome to purchase a full Table of 10 at a discounted rate, or—if your group is buying individual tickets—you can use our Group Name feature. Simply coordinate a shared Group Name with your tablemates ahead of time, and have each person enter it during checkout. This ensures we seat your whole party together.

Not Part of a Group Yet? No worries at all. If you’re purchasing a single ticket and don’t have a pre‑arranged table, we’ll be organizing grade‑level tables so you can sit with other parents from your child’s class. It’s a great way to meet new families or reconnect with familiar ones while enjoying a wonderful evening together.

Ways to Get Involved

We have a wide range of volunteer opportunities, including:

• Planning roles that can be done from home and on your own schedule

• Silent Auction support, including item organization and event‑day assistance

• Procurement drop‑off and pick‑up events, assisting with inventory and check‑in

Every volunteer role—big or small—counts toward your Fundraising Volunteer Hours.
