Casino Night and Fundraising Auction

Claremont Middle School hosts its annual Auction Gala, "Casino Night," on Saturday, April 18 from 6–11pm at the Masonic Lodge at 5449 College Ave. This adults-only evening brings the community together for a stylish night of dinner, drinks, and fundraising in support of CMS students. The event begins with a beer and wine cocktail hour, followed by a plated sit-down dinner and an exciting live auction featuring standout items and experiences. Casino tables will be open throughout the night, adding an extra layer of fun and friendly competition. Guests are encouraged to dress in classic casino glamour—think elegant, polished, and bold. Each ticket includes cocktail hour, dinner, open bar, casino access, and participation in the live auction. Proceeds support PTA-funded programs, including classroom resources, electives, and enrichment opportunities that enhance the middle school experience. Join the CMS community for a memorable evening that gives back. The excitement continues online with the CMS Auction launching April 1, and continuing until April 15, offering a wide range of items and experiences. Highlights include spa packages, wine tastings, gift cards to local restaurants, jewelry, and fitness classes such as yoga and Pilates. Participants can also bid on tickets to popular CMS-hosted parties, including themed gatherings like a Hot Dog Party, Ethiopian Dinner, and Mahjong Night. For those looking to get more involved, CMS is seeking volunteers to assist with auction setup, guest check-in, and event closing. Volunteering offers a fun and meaningful way to support the event while connecting with the school community.
