What is Unity’s Dinner Auction?
Each year, Unity hosts a Dinner Auction to help support the important work of providing top-quality Christian education to our students & community. This is our largest volunteer-led fundraiser of the school year.
This fun night is for you — parents, grandparents, friends, neighbors, teachers, coaches, pastors, alumni, everyone is welcome!
What to expect?
Many of our guests will arrive in their favorite country western attire — think plaid shirts, denim jeans, leather vests, skirts, dresses, cowboy boots, cowboy hats, & bandanas. Dress as country as you’d like or simply come as you’re comfortable.
There will be free parking in any of our lots. Guests will enter through the Gymnasium doors on the southeast side of the school building. Feel free to drop guests off at the doors. Doors will open promptly at 5:30pm. Check-in will take place through the Gym #2 doors on the right toward the end of the hall.
Welcome to Country Boots & Christian Roots where you will enjoy hors d'oeuvres & a buffet style dinner — think fruit & cheese, bbq meatballs, stuffed mushrooms, pulled pork, smoked turkey, corn bread, baked beans, salad & more, along with our famous Dessert Dash that will include a variety of delicious sweets from local bakeries & bakers. There will be something for everyone! Drinks will be available for purchase. Guest seating requests are available on the ticket checkout page & we will do our best to accommodate (tables typically seat 8).
Enjoy music & conversation while looking at the many different silent auction items available that will showcase the best of our school & community, with standout experiences & more in the highly-entertaining live auction.
Your participation supports developing leaders for life in Decatur while also encouraging people to further invest in the businesses & organizations that make our community stand out in Central Illinois. We can’t wait to see you there.
What will childcare look like?
Childcare will be provided on campus for children ages 4+ by our National Honors Society students. Children will play together with our NHS high school students in the multipurpose (ABC) room. They’ll enjoy pizza & drinks, games, a movie, maybe even a little dance party. Suggested donation is $20 per child ($30 per family).
Feel free to have your child(ren) join in on the fun & celebration of Unity by wearing their best country western outfits! 👢🤠
