Our annual Auction is the biggest fundraiser of the year at BSS – proceeds go to the operating budget of the school and help to provide educational programming as well as to control the cost of tuition.
This year get your game on with excellent tailgate fare, complete with beer, wine, cocktails, non-alcoholic beverages and desserts. Like any good tailgate, there will be plenty of games, raffles, and auction items to suit everyone’s taste!
$25/person reservations are available on this website and via the forms available in the office. ONLINE REGISTRATION IS HIGHLY ENCOURAGED. VIP reserved table seating for 8 is available for $350. At the 2013 BSS ultimate tailgate party, everyone will be a winner!!!
