Details of Fundraising Events

In September, Parent Representatives, or other volunteers, contact every family to solicit items to be sold at the Auction and Saturday Fair. The range of goods and services donated is enormous; brainstorm with the parent volunteer who calls to discuss the many possibilities. In addition, every family is asked to volunteer a minimum of two hours of time and contribute items to the Trevor Lunch area. With everyone’s help, this event will be as fun, exciting and successful a fundraiser as always.

What Takes Place:

The Auction Dinner takes place at an exciting restaurant venue on a Wednesday evening in November. The festive evening offers great food and great fun, highlighted by a boisterous Live Auction, with Line-Out and Silent Auction opportunities as well.

The Saturday Fair takes place on the following Saturday at the 90th Street Campus and the Church of the Heavenly Rest. The Fall Festival began years ago as a country fair selling produce from Wyngate Farm in Putney, Vermont. In addition to the ever popular Line-Out and Silent Auctions, crafts by students, faculty, parents and independent vendors, wonderful holiday gift items, fabulous gift baskets, baked goods, jams and jellies, and a wide range of new and used goods will be offered for sale. In addition, the Saturday Fair offers fun and entertaining activities for children, both indoor and outside. Prospective Trevor families and the local community are invited to come, enjoy the day and witness the Trevor community spirit first hand. It is a true family event!

How All Families Contribute to its Success:

• Donate an item, event, service etc. for auction or sale
• Volunteer a minimum of two hours to work either the Saturday Fair, the set-up on
• Friday or the breakdown
• Provide a food item that serves 12 for the Saturday food bazaar buffet.

Tickets to Trevor

The PA has created a ticket clearinghouse so that owners of tickets to sporting events, concerts, Broadway shows, etc. may donate to the school that they are unable to use. The tickets are put up for sale to other members of the Trevor community and the proceeds are donated to the school. Participants in the clearinghouse email ticketstotrevor@trevornet.org with information about available tickets. The PA then relays the information by email to all clearinghouse participants, and the first participant to respond to the offer gets the tickets. Registration is available online! For more information about Tickets to Trevor, email ticketstotrevor@trevornet.org. The program will run throughout the school year, not including school holidays.

The PA also hosts other PA fundraisers including a theater performance and the always popular Mets game each spring !
