Spring Auction

Besides being a great deal of fun, the MPA Spring Auction is our largest community event and only fundraiser. Thanks to the generous MPA community, we raised more than $250,000 at the 2016 auction. There are two primary functions of the auction. First, it is an opportunity for all parents, alumni, faculty, and friends to build community and to celebrate our common interest in education. Second, it is an opportunity to raise much needed funds. Thank you to our 2016 Spring Auction donors!
