What is the Auction all about?
The Annual Auction is the Peddie Parents Association's only fundraiser - AND, it's a fun, informal school celebration you won't want to miss!
The Annual Auction is a Peddie School tradition and the Peddie Parent Association's only fundraiser. The Auction's major goal is to
enhance the Peddie student experience. All Auction proceeds directly fund the PPA operating budget that provides an Annual Fund donation to the School and faculty grants.

What do I do with the raffle tickets?
50/50 Cash raffle
The Raffle tickets may be sold to those within or outside the Peddie community. In recent years, the raffle has awarded the top winner $16,000 - a great return on a $10.00 investment. Simply complete the ticket stubs and return in the accompanying pre-addressed envelope with a check made payable to the PPA. For accurate accounting, if any tickets remain unsold, we ask that you please return them as well in the envelope provided.
How can I contribute?
Make a donation
We are asking for your valuable assistance in the form of Auction donations. Any donation, whether large or small, is appreciated. Please view our wish list and use this donation form to contribute. You can also help Peddie's neighbors by considering a donation from our local vendors. Donations may also be made through our school registries at Macy's or Bed Bath & Beyond. Lastly, donations may be delivered to the Coates-Coleman Alumni House at Peddie or mailed directly to the Peddie School, Attn: PPA Auction. Gift certificates, cash/credit card donations or solicited donations are also welcomed!
Volunteer on a committee
The Auction's success is only possible through the valuable donation of time and energy from parents like you. Check out the many volunteer opportunities, and email
ppaauction@peddie.org to sign up.
Take out an advertisement
Advertising in the Peddie School Program Book, distributed to all the families who attend the Auction, is a great way to show school support! Program book pages may be company advertisements, or well wishes and thanks to others, and they are even better when they include photographs of students. By registering your child for an on campus FalconFoto, his/her photograph becomes part of Peddie history and provides a wonderful memento! Program Book Ad Form
Buy the Signature Item
Purchase the Peddie Parent Association's Signature Item: A Peddie keepsake blanket. These warm and decorative blankets are available on our online auction site.
Last, but not least...What happens on Auction Night?
Mark your calendar for Saturday, May 5, 2012
So now you are wondering...what happens after I register/buy a ticket and attend that night?? You will enjoy a wonderful meal and entertainment, socialize with other Peddie parents and have the option to support the school in a myriad of ways.
There will be a Silent Auction including theme-oriented baskets of all shapes and sizes, and for as little as $20-$35 you can purchase a special cocktail or "Winners Circle" or "Golden Ticket" to win an item valued at over $500! Returning this year is the popular Peddie Student FalconFotos - photographs for sale not available elsewhere. You may also purchase the Peddie Blanket Signature Item or take a chance at the thrilling bidding for some of the larger LIVE items like vacations, private parties, one-of-a-kind events and VIP Peddie opportunities! It's totally up to you how much or little you spend, but one thing is for sure - the FUN is mandatory! The Auction is the one night all year for Peddie parents and teachers to socialize and have fun!
