Auction for Financial Aid
Saturday, April 18, 2026

6:00-8:00pm: Silent Auction, Hors D'Oeuvres, and Drinks
8:00-10:00pm: Best-of-Live Raffle, Live Auction, Paddle Raise for Financial Aid

Save the Date - because there's no place like Burke! Join us for a magical evening at Edmund Burke School's Auction for Financial Aid, the biggest adult social and fundraising event of the school year. This year's celebration will be Wizard of Oz-themed, bringing a little sparkle, wonder, and yellow-brick-road energy to a night of community and impact. 100% of Auction proceeds support Burke's Financial Aid program. Burke provides tuition assistance to more than 30% of our families, helping ensure the economic diversity that makes Burke such a special place for our students and community.

The Auction's success depends on the generosity and involvement of many community members and volunteers coming together to support Financial Aid - and every gift helps students find their way home to Burke.  Help us ensure that the Auction is a success!

Attend the Auction. Purchase tickets or a sponsorship (learn more about Family Sponsorships and Business Sponsorships) and join us for the fundraising and social event of the year! Please note: this event is 21+ only. 

Make a Gift to Financial Aid. Raise your paddle for Financial Aid during the auction - or if you can't attend, consider making a contribution online. 

Donate auction items for our silent, online, and live auctions. It's a tremendous way to support Burke and strengthen our community's impact.

Volunteer. There are many ways to get involved behind the scenes. If you are interested in learning more, please contact Kate Maskarinec. 

We hope you'll also save the date for our Online Auction (April 8-14)!

Before the event at Burke, we'll have a special selection of auction items open only for online bidding! These items are different than the items that will appear in our silent auction at the event. Make sure you tune in as the date approaches - you don't have to leave Kansas to be the winner of tickets to a show, restaurant gift certificates, art, jewelry, and more in the online auction!
