The Spring Benefit is the School's biggest fundraising event of the year. Funds raised through ticket sales, sponsorship and the silent and live auctions, directly support faculty compensation, benefits and professional development. Because each year anywhere between 35% and 50% of the funds raised are through the silent and live auctions, we ask each of our families to participate by donating or soliciting at least one item that can be placed up for bidding.
If you are unsure about the appropiateness of an item for bidding, please contact Shannon Williams in the Development Office at 212-535-2130, ext 206 or swilliams@steiner.edu. Generally, the sky's the limit!
