How to Volunteer
ANNUAL AUCTION: The Auction is Marquez’s “not-to-miss” fundraising gala of the year, and it is our second biggest fundraiser. It is a most anticipated dinner party featuring a live, silent and on-line auction. A large team of parent volunteers work together to organize the entire event, from all aspects of event planning to soliciting auction item donations.
