The 2025 Auction Guide is available here.
The Auction is Lily B.'s BIG SPRING FUNDRAISER where adult supporters of Lily B. celebrate our school and financially contribute to the PTA through ticket purchases, sponsorships, and winning bids and purchases of a variety of items including party tickets, spots on the birthday marquee, and our kids' art.
Save the Date for the 2026 Auction: Neon Rodeo! Get ready to glow, y’all! The 2026 Lily B. Clayton Auction theme is Neon Rodeo (think Dolly at a disco....boots, bling and neon)!
Join us on Saturday, March 7, 2026, from 6:30–10:30 pm, with an optional VIP cocktail hour beginning at 5:30 pm (VIP entry available for purchase).
Our goal each year is to raise enough money to fund many of the things that make Lily B. great (please see this page for more information about where financial support of our PTA goes). In addition, each year the Auction includes a "Paddles Up" donation moment during which everyone will have an opportunity to leave a lasting mark at Lily B. by donating to a specific PTA project.
Check out the Auction FAQ Page for more information or contact 2026 Auction Chair Shelby Ryon at auction@lilybclayton.org.
Donate items. We are currently accepting silent auction and live auction items for Auction. Please think of what you could possibly donate, who you know who might be willing to contribute, and places you frequent that you could ask for a donation. Examples of live auction items include a ride to school in a firetruck, story time with the mayor, original artwork, and stays at donors' vacation homes. Examples of silent auction items include gift cards to your favorite restaurant or store, golf outings, gift baskets, jewelry and accessories. Please refer to the Auction Item Donations Page for the form you can use for making and collecting donations.
Host an Auction Party (or Several Auction Parties). An Auction Party is a party hosted by parents for which tickets are sold at Auction. Since party hosts pay for all of the party costs, 100% of money raised from party ticket sales goes to the school! Please refer to the Auction Parties Page for more information.
Become a Friends & Family Donor. Grandparents, neighbors, and family friends can support Lily B. by making a donation to Auction. Please refer to the Friends and Family Donations Page for more information.
