Each year, the Chugach Educational Corporation hosts a lively auction to support Chugach Optional Elementary School. The auction funds schoolwide upgrades for everything from furniture to technology as well as expanded learning opportunities for students through Outdoor School, Science Share, Mini Courses, and more. Please join us for a fun parent night out in support of Chugach Optional!
This is a one-stop spot for auction details. Want to donate, buy tickets, or enter to win front-row parking? Read on!
It's all right, 'cause I'm saved by the bell! This year we’re throwing it back to the raddest decade ever with a totally 90s theme. Bust out your oversized blazers, scrunchies, and cool-kid energy so you can party with other Chugach parents at Saved by the Auction Bell while we raise money for our favorite school (no, not Bayside — Chugach, duh!).
When: Friday, Nov. 21, 2025, 6-10 p.m.
Where: 49th State Brewing (717 W. Third Ave.)
Vibe: Go big with bling like Bayside fashion queen Lisa Turtle, raid Jessie Spano's endless vest collection, flex some varsity muscle with an AC Slater-inspired tank top, or put a little prep in your step like Zach Morris with pastels, patterned sweaters, or head-to-toe denim.
Food & Drink: Heavy appetizer buffet and cash bar.
Live & Silent Auction: Bid on amazing items donated from local businesses and community members in our Silent Auction; raise a paddle in the Live Auction for exclusive experiences (like the Polly Party!); and buy tickets for the drawing to win a reserved parking spot for one year!
Tickets: Early bird tickets are $50 through Oct. 31 and $60 after. Consider donating a staff ticket too!
Show your support by donating an item, experience, or service! We love gift cards, art, handmade treasures, curated parties, and more!

Get in, friends! We're going to school! Buy tickets for the drawing to win that prime reserved parking spot in the front row for the rest of the school year. The winner will be drawn at the end of the auction, but you do not need to be present to win. Tickets: 1 for $30, 5 for $100, or 10 for $250.
