Foundation Basket Auction — Provo Schools

Provo City School District’s foundation is holding its annual basket auction Thursday evening at Centennial Middle School to raise money for student programs. (provo.edu) The event is scheduled for April 23 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. in the Centennial Middle School cafeteria, according to a district invitation posted April 13. Organizers list a suggested donation of $5 per person or $20 per family. (provo.edu) The program includes student music and dance performances, a silent auction and a live auction built around donated themed baskets, the district said. The auction is part of the Provo City School District Foundation’s spring fundraising push. (provo.edu) The foundation says it raises money for after-school programs, student scholarships and teacher grants across the district. It also says its work depends on donations from community members and business sponsors. (provo.edu) District leaders also highlighted the auction in the April 21 Board of Education agenda, placing it alongside upcoming public school events on the district calendar. The foundation’s main page separately lists April 23, 2026, as the date of its Easter Basket Auction. (provo.edu) (foundation.provo.edu) The Provo City School District Board of Education’s regular meetings are usually held on the second and fourth Tuesday of each month at district offices, making the Thursday auction a separate community fundraiser rather than a board meeting item. The district’s 2026 meeting schedule lists those board sessions at 280 West 940 North in Provo. (provo.edu) For families and donors, the pitch is simple: show up at Centennial Middle School at 6 p.m., watch students perform and bid on baskets, with proceeds directed to school support programs the foundation funds across Provo.
