We are excited to  be able to offer a virtual option to participate in our PTO Silent Auction Fundraiser!  Due to a deficit in our PTO budget this year we are striving to make up the difference through fundraising versus having to make any cuts or reductions to the programs and projects we support at Country Trails. We are excited to feature a wide variety of items in our silent auction! We have youth sports registrations for softball, baseball, football & cheer, wrestling, and girls & boys basketball! We also have fun for the whole family, treats for the adults, restaurant gift certificates, rounds of golf, local services and MORE! Once you complete your purchase for the Virtual Silent Auction Fundraiser you will receive your auction link in your confirmation e-mail (please check your junk mail if you don't see it in your inbox!) Bidding will open Thursday, September 7th at 5:00pm and bidding will close Saturday, September 9th at 9:45pm. For those not in attendance at Saturday's Parent's Party, pick up of items will be coordinated for the week of 9/11 - 9/15.
