The Colfax PTO presents our annual fundraiser event, Bring Back the 90s on Saturday, May 10, 2025 from 7pm-11pm. This totally tubular night will include food, drinks, 90's jams, silent auction baskets, and full access to the museum. Come dressed to party in your best 90's outfits! Keep an eye on our event website for additional information and announcements about this year's silent auction offerings!<a style="text-decoration-color:initial;user-select:auto;box-sizing:inherit">www.colfaxpto.org/parentgala</a> Note: We continue to use Zeffy as our payment processing service as it provides wonderful service at ZERO COST to the PTO. But it does default to showing a 15% optional "tip" to Zeffy as part of the payment. Families should know that they can manually change this to -0- and it does not affect what the PTO receives. The tip goes to Zeffy themselves - and they are providing a fantastic free service for us, so anyone who wants to tip certainly can, but please know that it is optional.
