Lassen High’s Class of 2025 Holding Fundraising Art Auction Saturday
Lassen High School’s Class of 2025 will be holding an art auction full of awesome student-created artwork on April 30th in the school’s Student Center, with all of the money raised going straight into the Freshman class fund for activities like future dances, class trips and fun events.

“The freshmen class has been working very hard on putting together this creative fundraiser to help us raise funds to pay for all the activities for the next four years,” says Class Advisor Rachel Vincent. “All artwork up for live auction has been created by freshmen, specifically for this event.”
There are more than thirty-five pieces of art for you to bid on, ranging from woodwork to pixel art, to paintings, photographs, and more!

“There will be a viewing and silent auction portion of the evening from 5:30 to 6:30, where we will also be serving delicious charcuterie boards full of artistic desserts and food.”

There are twelve silent auction items, donated by local business and community members, to bid on during the first hour, and you will still have time to check out all of the amazing artwork on display.

Registration for the live auction portion of the evening begins at 6:00 p.m., and the live auction will begin at 6:30 p.m. and continue until closing.

“Please join us for this event and support our freshmen class! Invite as many people as you can!”

You can download an absentee bidder form if you can’t make it to the event. Donations are also happily accepted. Scroll down to see the list of artwork.

Purchases can be cash or checks made payable to ‘LHS Class of 2025.’ Each item has been given a minimum starting bid ranging from $25 to $40. Bidding will be done in $5 increments.

The student art will be auctioned to the highest bidders during the live auction portion of the evening which begins at 6:30.

Organizers are asking those interested in bidding on student art to be there by 6:00 to register.

The whole community is invited to come and support the freshmen class by bidding on their art, or simply giving a donation.
