Auction Links
Welcome to ACE's Academy's first virtual online auction. We are thrilled to present a number of unique gift baskets designed to relieve stress, encourage socially distanced safe activities and support local businesses. Participating is easy! View the baskets, then create a bidding profile. Once your profile is created you can start bidding.
In the last few months our school motto, where we go beyond has taken on new meaning. From Zoom classrooms and virtual head of school coffees to temperature checks and ACE masks we remain focused on providing a high quality education for all gifted students. While the distance between us physically has increased we are uniformly committed to ensuring ACE students are challenged in the classroom, nutured by teachers and administrators and prepared for the future.
Bidding opens at 8:00 am on Friday, November 6th and closes Friday, November 13 at 5:00 pm.
ACE has curated a number of outstanding baskets using donations from amazing local businesses who donated to our spring gala in addition to items provided by our parent community.
The purchase of a basket directly supports ACE Academy's Annual Fund. Our goal for 2020-2021 is $90,000- a goal we can achieve together. Like other nonprofit organizations, the COVID-19 pandemic has affected our operations and budget. Summer Wonders moved to an online only format which greatly decreased enrollment, and we have faced increased costs to ensure the safety of all our students and staff.
You are encouraged to share this virtual auction. This is a great way to share your excitement for ACE Academy with family, friends and neighbors. The online platform allows for open participation - the more the merrier!
New items will be added mid-week! Some of the items fell out of full baskets and can be bid on as individual items.
Winners will be announced on Monday, November 16th. Baskets will be delivered within the Austin area the week of November 16 - 20th. For winners outside the Austin area, we will contact you to set up a delivery plan. Additional shipping costs may apply. If you have questions at any time, please contact ACE's Director of Development, Alison Reis at areis@austingifted.org.
