Buy-in & Sign Up Parties - Be a Host!

Raise Funds & Have Fun!

Buy-in Parties (FKA: Pay-to-Play or Hosted Parties) are private fundraisers hosted by a parent or group of parents which benefit Green Valley Learning Fund.

These fundraising events are typically formatted as a group “buy-in”, so many people will bid to secure a spot and take advantage of these special social gatherings.

The events can be made available to our entire parent community, grade-level students, class parents and so on. They can be held at any time throughout the year! Buy-in or Sign Up parties range from themed dinner parties to group fitness classes - it could be a first day of school parent brunch or last day of school park playdate for the class!

Please consider coordinating a fundraising event and for those volunteering as class room parents - these can be a great alternative to curating a Class Basket Auction Lot!

  • The Learning Fund raises funds year round. Your party can take place anytime. Depending on your timing the revenue will count toward the current year Auction event goal or the following year, but it all counts! You name the date/time/location.

  • Complete the form to submit your party to the auction! Some restrictions per SRVEF may apply.

  • Host/s should absorb the costs of the event so 100% of the ticket revenue generated goes to Green Valley Learning Fund. However, limited reimbursements may be available, reach out to greenvalley.edfundfinsec@srvef.org to inquire.

  • Hosted parties are sold on the auction website in advance of the auction and up until the auction closes (most will not be included in the live auction portion of the event, but will be listed during the silent auction with links to bid online).

  • Tickets will be available to purchase towards your party online. You will need to designate how many people are able to attend your event, and proposed ticket cost per person.

  • You will receive a contact list in the weeks following the auction for everyone who purchased a ticket towards your party. You can then contact them with more information about your event!
