Mark your calendars for Saturday, March 2, 2024 and join us for a Night at the Masquerade as we hold our biennial auction to benefit Briarwood! The auction supports a variety of important academic and cultural programming in our school. Our goals for the 2024 auction are to:

• Provide our children with an innovation specialist to support the building blocks of education in both reading and math for all grade levels

• Support student access to enriching education content via teacher-requested subscriptions

• Other key educational needs as they arise

The Briarwood Auction is a perfect opportunity to get to know others in the Briarwood community and show your support for our kids. Tickets go on sale January 23rd!

Event timeline:

• Event starts at 6pm

• Live auction and raffle drawing starting between 8 and 9pm

• DJ and dancing from 10-11pm

• Head to Johnny’s for the after party! 15% of sales go to Briarwood!

This year’s festivities will be located at the Johnson County Arts and Heritage Center.
