Roncalli Catholic Schools is preparing for the 41st annual Roncalli Pierside Auction in Manitowoc, Wisconsin. Candice Giesen, director of advancement for Roncalli Catholic Schools, expressed enthusiasm for the event: “We are so excited to set sail with the Roncalli Pierside Auction once again.”

The auction will offer both online and in-person bidding options. Last year’s auction featured over 700 bidders and raised more than $300,000. The online auction will take place from April 24 to April 28 at roncalliauction.givesmart.com. The in-person event is scheduled for April 26 at Roncalli High School.

Attendees can expect a range of items up for bid, including sports memorabilia and unique experiences like a private party with Tim Petersen and an overnight stay at Riverbend in Kohler. Additional highlights include UW-Wisconsin Badger football tickets and special projects by Roncalli High School Engineering students.

Raffle opportunities are also available. Tickets for the Cash Raffle offer a chance to win $10,000, while the UTV Raffle features a utility vehicle prize. Both raffles have limited ticket availability.

Fundraising efforts such as this auction play a crucial role in maintaining affordable tuition at Roncalli Catholic Schools. These efforts contribute significantly to the school's revenue alongside tuition fees and parish support.
