Family & Teacher Experiences

Taste for the Arts Auction
Several of our auction items are sold as experiences and are available to multiple people (either as a larger experience to bid on with a group OR through the purchase of individual tickets) 

What Are Family & Teacher Experiences?

Each year, parents, caregivers, and teachers volunteer to host creative parties or experiences for adults and/or kids to help raise funds for our school! During our last two auctions, our Family & Teacher Experiences were our most successful offerings. They are also an excellent opportunity for community building. Whether you host an experience or attend one, they are a great way to meet other Ludlow-Taylor families!

How Does It Work?

​Parents, caregivers, and teachers agree to host as many people as they find appropriate for a specific activity/party. Attendees can be adults, kids or a combination of the two. The hosts cover all expenses of the party, and 100% of the funds raised by the event benefit Ludlow-Taylor. 

These events do NOT need to be elaborate or expensive to host! For example, one family might host a themed dinner at their home—and other families bid on it at the auction.  Some experiences are be ticketed items.  For example, a backyard BBQ hosted by two families that is available to the first 50 people to buy tickets. Or a get-together to do yoga in the park with some snacks!

How Do I Get Started?
  1. Brainstorm the type of party or activity you want to host! Decide on the number of adults, families, or kids you can accommodate for your event.
  2. Email LTESAuction@gmail.com to confirm your plans & discuss possible dates.
  3. Make plans to cover the costs of the party as your contribution to the Auction. (All of your costs are tax-deductible, btw!)
  4. We’ll handle the auction logistics of adding your event to the website & promoting it as part of Warriors' Night Out.
  5. Host your party! Meet some new Ludlow-Taylor families & have a wonderful time for a good cause!
