The 2023 Legacy Gala on May 12, featuring Christian comedian Jeff Allen as the headliner, will also include a Silent Auction and ACS classes from PreK2 to the 8th grade are being asked to create beautiful, themed gift baskets to be put up for bid at the auction. A flyer about the auction gift baskets was sent home to parents the week of March 27.

ACS families are asked to help create the gift baskets by donating items based on various themes assigned to each grade level, including cat lovers, dog lovers, baby shower, craft fanatic, pamper mom, and more. The flyer below lists the gift basket themes for each grade level.

ACS staff member PJ Santos, who is heading up the Silent Auction Committee, said the classroom gift baskets are always very popular items in the auction. Santos also said she is looking for volunteers to join the committee to help contact businesses to donate items for the auction or to help assemble the gift baskets once all the items have been collected in each classroom.

To volunteer for the Silent Auction Committee, please email Santos at psantos@acseht.org.

All proceeds from the Silent Auction, as well as ticket sales and sponsorships for the Gala, will support the ACS Tuition Assistance Grant Fund, which provides tuition discounts to new and returning families in need. The Gala will be held at the Ocean City Tabernacle.
