Celebration & Auction 2024: An Evening to Remember

THE 2024 COUNTRY DAY Celebration & Auction was a resounding success, bringing together nearly 700 parents, faculty, staff, and community members in a remarkable display of support and camaraderie.

Held on February 3, 2024, in Harris Performance Gym, the Parents’ Association’s largest fundraising and parent community-building event was filled with excitement. Guests enjoyed a silent auction filled with enticing and unique items, gourmet food stations serving delectable food and beverages, lively music by DJ Charles Sledge, a professional auctioneer leading the live auction with exceptional opportunities, and large screens scattered throughout for the UNC/Duke basketball fans!

Harris Performance Gym was transformed into an elegant space, thanks to the creativity, dedication, and attention to detail of this year’s auction co-chairs, Megan Klein and Amanda Harry Stauffer ’94, and the hard work of many volunteers involved in ensuring an unforgettable evening of entertainment, fundraising, and celebration.

The $200,000 in proceeds from this year’s auction will primarily be allocated toward enhancing security measures on Cannon Campus and updating technology in Gorelick Family Theater.

The 2024 Celebration & Auction was a night to remember, and the event’s success was due to the collective efforts of everyone involved, from organizers and volunteers to sponsors and attendees.
