Volunteers gathered at the home of Patricia and Atanas Ilitch on February 1 to celebrate the midyear point of the Auction’s planning cycle. Pictured are, from left, Action Auction general chairmen Molly Donaldson, Beth Rentschler and Tina Griffin.

Action Auction 2004 is set for Wednesday, May 9 and Friday, May 11, 2007. The Preview night will be held on the beautiful grounds of The Grosse Pointe Academy. Action Auction, a black-tie gala in celebration of the Auction's 40th anniversary, will be held at the Grosse Pointe Yacht Club.

Action Auction generates an exciting array of donated items and draws more than 1,200 bidders each year. The consistent success of this effort can be attributed to a large body of dedicated volunteers, including parents, alumni, staff and friends. Proceeds from Action Auction generate funds for the Academy’s operating budget, help to ensure the availability of scholarship aid, and assist with the restoration and preservation of our historic campus.
