Steer – Annual Fundraiser for Student Scholarships
The Annual Steer Dinner includes both a live and silent auction for our guests. The items being auctioned are all generously donated by Avila alumni, friends, and community members.
Calling all friends and alumni! You can show your support by donating an item to the Annual Fundraiser for Student Scholarships. Get exposure for your business and support Avila! Donations from Avila alumni and friends will be specifically acknowledged on our website, in the event program, and with each item in our online bidding platform. We request that all items being donated have a value of $500 or more, or can be paired with other items to create $500+ packages. Thank you in advance for helping us support Avila students!
All item donors will be listed in the printed program and visible with each item in our online bidding platform. Donors that wish to remain anonymous will be listed as “Anonymous”.
