Rainbow Auction

We are looking forward to the 38th annual Rainbow Auction. This year’s event will be held on Saturday, April 24, 2021 at Muskegon Catholic Central. As MCC’s largest fundraiser, this event builds not only financial support for our school, it also enhances a stronger community. At this time, we are planning a hybrid event, offering both in-person and virtual options. Check back soon for ticket purchasing information.

The evening kicks off with our silent auction, which features art and décor, household items, toys and games, food and drink, gift certificates, and much more—all generously donated from local and regional businesses, parishioners, and our school families. After enjoying a delicious meal we launch right into our live auction, which includes everything from awesome vacations/stay-cations and sports event packages to dining excursions and one-of-a-kind experiences.

There are many ways to be involved with the 2021 Rainbow Auction.

Donate an Auction Item

Each year the Auction offers quality items, generously donated by individuals and businesses throughout the area and the MCC community. To donate a silent or live auction item, contact the Education Foundation at 231.291.0326 or print the auction donation form.

Popular donation items include:

• Getaways: vacation homes, hotel/resort stays
• Tickets: to sports, concerts, theater, theme parks
• Fun kid activities: music, sports, lessons
• Gift certificates: restaurants, spas, and boutiques
• Unique, money-can’t-buy experiences: behind-the-scenes tours and VIP treatments for special events

Be an Auction Hero!

Auction Heroes are those who generously contribute a minimum donation of $50 to Rainbow Auction. In turn, an auction item with the minimum value of $50 will be purchased for the Silent Auction and the donor will be listed as “Auction Hero”. Auction Heroes will be listed in the event catalog given out to each guest and available online.

Donations can be made payable to: MCEF or online.

Sponsor

Sponsorship and underwriting are critical to the success of the Auction each year. Your tax-deductible financial contribution makes a significant impact. This is also an excellent promotional opportunity for your business or organization to be featured in our event promotion that reaches along the West Michigan Lakeshore. You can find all of our sponsorship opportunities here. If you are interested in becoming a sponsor, please complete and return the Sponsorship Agreement.

Volunteer

Each year the funds raised from the Auction equip and empower MCC students to become Christ-centered individuals with a strong academic foundation. It takes volunteers to make all this possible. The growth of our school and its programs is largely determined by the support of the greater community. When just one individual chooses to engage, there is a tremendous impact. Whether you are a parent, alumni, grandparent, faculty member, treasured friend or local businessperson your help is paramount to the success of this event. For this reason we ask that you consider becoming part of the Auction Committee or volunteer your time the day of the event.
