EPA Fundraisers
The Epiphany Parents Association (EPA) is an integral part of the school community, and is the organized link between parents, classrooms, school administration, and the Board of Trustees. A major way in which the EPA contributes to the smooth and successful operation of the School is by orchestrating a yearly fundraising event, the Auction or BRAVO!
Auction: The Epiphany Parents Association’s major fundraising event occurs in early spring, every other year in odd years. 2008-09 is an Auction year! Proceeds from the Auction are given to the School by the EPA to finance major projects and support the operating budget. The participation of the entire parent body, along with the faculty and staff, is critical to the Auction’s success. The EPA asks each current family to:
donate or procure items to be auctioned,
serve on one or more committees during the six months prior to the event,
help set up or take down on the day of the event,
invite friends and family to attend the event with them, and
attend the event, bid, and have fun!
The 2008-09 Auction "It's Your Epiphany-Dream Big!" will be held on March 20, 2009. The theme aims to reconnect current and past families to Epiphany's core values.
BRAVO! The Epiphany School Parents Association held its first BRAVO! celebration in 1998, and the fundraiser has happened each even year since then. The event is centered on students’ art, and parents have the opportunity to purchase individual art of their children, as well as group art by an entire class. The EPA donates the proceeds from BRAVO! to the School to supplement the financial aid budget.
