Action Auction

May 9 & 12, 2012

What community event has generated more than $13 million dollars in net proceeds over four decades? Which local auction fundraiser stands out among others as the premier and signature event that has been held consecutively since 1968? Where do more than 500 of your closest friends annually gather each May to support independent education in the Grosse Pointes? There is only one answer to these questions: The Grosse Pointe Academy Action Auction.

The Academy's renowned and very successful annual fundraiser, Action Auction, is held two evenings each May.  Wednesday evening features a strolling party and silent auction, which is followed by a seated dinner, silent and live auction on Saturday evening, just before Mother's Day.  Both the public and Academy community are invited to attend and bid on an amazing array of items and unique opportunities.

A multifaceted event, Action Auction offers many opportunities for participation for parents, friends of the Academy, corporate sponsors and advertisers.  Proceeds from the Action Auction enrich academic offerings and raise scholarship and tuition assistance funds to benefit students.
