Oakwood Friends School

Auction

Oakwood Friends School's 20th Annual Dinner and Auction will be held on Saturday, March 29, 2025 at 6:00 PM at the beautiful Locust Grove Estate in Poughkeepsie.  The event will benefit the 2024-25 Annual Fund.

We welcome you to join us for a delightful evening including a bubbly hour and passed hors d'oeuvres, a delicious three course meal with wine pairings, and a fun auction! This is a great opportunity to come together as a community of present and past parents and faculty, board members, alumni, family, friends and Poughkeepsie Quakers. 

The event features Oakwood student performances and art work as well as a diverse Silent and Live Auction that has something for everyone. The auction features a wide array of getaways, local experiences, specialty items, services and gift certificates to local eateries available for bidding. A selection of items are available here for bidding. 

The online auction closes at 6:00pm on Friday, March 28th. Highest bids will be carried over to the in person auction and highest bidders will be contacted Friday evening to discuss how to continue bidding even if they cannot attend the event. Everyone near and far is welcome to lend their support!

We hope you’ll join us for a delightful evening!

This auction is for members, alumni, family and friends of the Oakwood Friends School community only
