2010 Frolic Raised Over $36,000
for the Minnesota Waldorf School!
Our 2010 event - held at the beautiful 317 on Rice Park event center - was another great success, and great fun too! We raised over $36,000 with a little of $10,000 of it going towards our new woodworking and science room. We had beautiful artwork from the first through eighth graders and a surprise bidding frenzy on the fishing trip with Mr Curtin during the live auction! Afterwards, we danced to the raucous Irish band, the Tim Malloys. Our online auction continues to grow in item size, number of bidders, and number of bidders outside of Minnesota!
2009 Frolic Raised $41,500
for the Minnesota Waldorf School!
Our 2009 event – held at the gorgeous University Club ballroom in downtown St. Paul – was an amazing success. In one evening, we raised $41,500 — 16% more than the previous year! This money benefits the Minnesota Waldorf School directly—$31,000 goes to our operating budget and $10,500 supports Teacher Development, including summer intensives for our class teachers! About 175 community members, family, faculty and friends attended the event, enjoyed the great company and fabulous food, and bid on silent and live auction items.
New this year was our online auction, held prior to the gala event. Nearly 120 people registered to bid, many from outside our community. This additional fund raising was key to our overall success, and a way for friends and family who could not attend the event to be a part of the fun!
Thank you to everyone who attends our Frolic events. Thank you also to the many dedicated and wonderful volunteers necessary to make it all happen each year! We look forward to seeing you at our next event!
