TCS ANNUAL AUCTION

Tucson Community School is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. The auction is TCS’ largest fundraiser in which the public, alumni and current families come together to bid on tremendous prizes to raise funds.

Auction jobs vary from soliciting businesses, entering information into a computer and selling tickets, to set up, displaying items, and bartending.  Each family lists their preference of an auction job on their Registration Form when enrolling their children.
