Community Auction
Our 60th annual Community Auction raised over a million dollars last year during an amazing event. The funds raised help support our cadets in addition to our expert faculty and staff.
This spring, we invite you to celebrate 60 years of excellence at the Saint Thomas Academy Community Auction and Gala. Join us for an unforgettable evening of fun, camaraderie, and fundraising to support the education of our more than 560 young men.
To learn more about the Auction, please contact Jodie Whaley at 651-683-1590.

BIDDING DETAILS
If you plan to attend the auction in person, please register when you arrive at the venue (registration opens at 5 p.m.). To ensure a smooth and efficient check-in process, please do not attempt to pre-register on your phone, as this will interfere with your pre-assigned bidder information and may cause delays.
The Silent auction items are open to bid on beginning at 5 p.m. until 7 p.m. and the Super Silent items are open until 11 p.m. Please see the instructions below for registration and bidding.
Remote bidders may follow these steps to bid on items:

- Follow the prompts to set up your account
- Get to bidding!
- Preview the items in the catalog below
Pro tip: Bid high and bid often! You can set up auto-bidding with a max bid so you don't have to hover over your phone.
