~ A community auction, held bi-annually
~ Individual donations
~ Endowments
~ Brick Pavers
~ Decal Sales
Community Auction
The Griffin School Foundation holds a community auction biannually, during even years. The sixth GSF auction was held September 18, 2010, at the Prosperity Grange on Steamboat Island Road. Over 300 community members attended the event which combined a wonderful seafood and chicken dinner with both live and silent auctions. The 2010 fund-raiser was our most successful action to date; a resounding success, with gross proceeds exceeding $100,000.
The 2012 auction, The Steamboat Stampede, will be held
September 8th, 2012.
