31st Annual Anderson Auction

Last Chance! Many items still remain, including kids offerings of all kinds, wellness, sports, and neighborhood faves.

Already a winner? Please bear with us as we carefully distribute winning items and certificates in the weeks ahead. We have over 650 items we promise to get into your hands as soon as we can.

The Anderson Auction, now in its 31st year, is one of the most exciting fundraising events of the year. The theme for 2023 – Kaleidoscope NYC – takes inspiration from PS 334’s remarkable collective of students and faculty, who live across all five boroughs New York City, and come from around the world. Together, they represent a rainbow of possibilities – a prismatic kaleidoscope of creativity, knowledge, vision, fueled by curiosity to learn, dream big and reach for the stars.

This year’s auction will be held at:

TAVERN ON THE GREEN
Saturday, March 11th, 2023
6:30pm-10:00pm
andersonauction.givesmart.com

100% of the proceeds of the event go to funding of critical enrichment programs and resources such as:

  • Chess & Foreign Language
  • Music & Arts Programs
  • Fitness &Wellness Initiatives
  • Teaching Assistants
  • Professional Development
  • Technology Upgrades & Sports Equipment
  • Field Trips & Classroom Supplies
  • …and much, much more!

Without your contribution to the PTA’s fundraising efforts, the viability of these programs would have to be reconsidered. Thank you for your support!
