Why does Montera have a benefit & auction?
Montera hosts its annual benefit and auction for a few important reasons. It is a fun, social event that brings our community together, and it is also a critical fundraiser. The auction helps fund a large portion of the Montera PTO’s operating budget, with proceeds directly supporting essential programs and resources that benefit our students and school.
Why is there a silent online auction? Is this different from the in-person benefit event?
The silent online auction gives everyone in the Montera community a chance to participate in the fundraiser! Family, friends, neighbors, Montera families and staff can all bid and win great items from anywhere. The online silent auction will open in mid-February on this site .
The in-person benefit takes place on March 14 and includes a live auction that features exclusive items that are not available during the online auction. You can expect fast-paced, traditional paddle-style bidding. Attending the in-person benefit does not mean you have to bid on items—we simply want everyone to join the fun if they can.
Ticket Assistance Available
Want to attend the in-person benefit but need assistance? Email president@monterapto.com . We have a limited number of sliding-scale and complimentary tickets available via promo code, no questions asked.
Teacher/Staff Benefit Ticket Donations
We truly appreciate our amazing Montera teachers and staff! They receive complimentary tickets to the in-person benefit event on March 14 as a thank-you for all they do. Please consider contributing to help cover the cost of their tickets.
What should I wear?
The theme is Toros in the Tropics. The goal is to turn Zanzi into a tropical tiki bar with laid-back island vibes. Feel free to dress on theme—think tropical prints, bright colors, linens, fun beach accessories—or come as you are. There is no strict dress code.
