Synergy School - Auction

Auction 2008

It is time again for us to get our energies together for Synergy’s Annual Auction/Raffle/Dinner Dance. This year’s fabulously fun event is also a community celebration of Synergy’s 35th Year Anniversary. The auction will be held on Saturday, March 15, 2008 from 6pm until Midnight. We are also excited to share with you that we are back to having the auction at the Annunciation Cathedral at 245 Valencia Street, and that dinner will be catered.

Our goal and commitment is to raise $70,000. The money is essential to the budget; making it possible to maintain the richness of our program at the tuition we have, while giving financial aid at the level we do. Our tuition is one of the lowest among San Francisco’s independent schools and more than one third of our families receive financial aid.
