Get ready to cheer, bid, and celebrate at St. John Fenton School’s biggest event of the year—our annual auction, Detroit-style! We’re bringing the heart of the Motor City to Fenton, turning the night into a skyline-lit celebration of grit, music, and community to support our amazing school.

Dress the Part: Grab your favorite Detroit look—throw on a Lions jersey (hello, Barry Sanders), channel Aretha Franklin glamour, or rock classic Motor City style with a bit of Motown shine.

What’s in Store:

• “Downtown Kickoff” Silent Auction: Cruise through unique items and exclusive experiences before the big show revs up. Place your bids and start the engine!

• “Live from the Motor City” Live Auction: The main event is packed with surprises and must-have packages that’ll have you revving those paddles high to support our school.

• The “Headlines from the D”: Throughout the evening, we’ll drop live updates on bidding battles and fundraising milestones—with a little Motor City flair.

• The After Party – DJ Dance: Cap the night with a DJ spinning undeniable Detroit favorites. Hit the dance floor and celebrate like a Woodward Dream Cruise after-party.
