FOR T H E WI N
The 12 th Annual Thornton Fund Auction
On May 4 th Thornton Academy held its 12 th Annual Thornton Fund Auction. The auction attracted over 350 TA parents,
alumni, local business owners, and community members. They gathered over food and drink to #bidforthewin on the
amazing donations curated from hundreds of individuals and local businesses. This year’s auction theme “For The Win”
celebrated the long standing tradition of excellence at Thornton Academy across the many diverse course and activity
offerings, while also looking forward to the completion of the Capital Campaign Athletic Complex.
The 2019 auction was the most successful fundraising event to date, raising over $125,000 for Thornton Academy. These
funds will provide critical support to our programs, provide free and reduced lunch to food insecure students, expand
academic opportunities and enhance campus life. The live and silent auction items included vacation getaways, Jimmy
Buffett concert tickets, a custom build shed and over 250 additional donated items.
A special thank you to all those who helped make Thornton Academy’s
12 th Annual Auction a success.
