"In uncertain economic times and amidst education budget cuts to the Oakland Unified School District, this year, more than ever, we will rely on the success of our largest fundraiser of the year – the middle school auction. The proceeds from our auction fund our outstanding music, arts, drama, peer tutoring and technology programs. Without these funds, many of these wonderful programs will be curtailed or eliminated. With a successful auction we can continue to provide a supportive and thriving community for our 800 students."
