Action Auction is an Academy tradition dating back over 50 years. 

It is a night where we come together as a community to support the vision for the future of The Grosse Pointe Academy.  All proceeds from Action Auction go directly to support the Academy's mission to nurturechallenge, and inspire its students. 

Whether you are participating as a corporate or family sponsor, attending as a guest, volunteering your time or participating in our silent or live auction, the Auction is a great way to get involved and give in a community-building environment.
