FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is the 2021 Virtual Auction?
The online auction on April 24 will include a Silent Auction as well as a Live Auction. The Silent Auction will include items like traditional Class Gifts, Class-sponsored Baskets, Sign-up Parties for adults and families, and Baskets related to a particular theme or concept. We will also have a Live Auction that will consist of items like Reserved Campus Parking, vacation packages, Reserved CHA Event Seating, and other similar biddable items. This year's Auction will also include Last Man Standing.
What is Last Man Standing?
This CHA tradition allows each family to donate at an increasingly high dollar amount, depending on how long they choose to stay standing. Stand tall for Canyon Heights Academy and stay standing as long as you're able!
In this year's digital format, we will be re-imagining this Auction tradition to fit a virtual format...stay tuned for details!
