Amazing Silent Auction Items

Get ready to bid on an incredible lineup of silent auction items at Tapas for Teachers! From exclusive CFSD perks like reserved parking and premium graduation seating to luxury experiences including a Canyon Ranch Tucson retreat and La Paloma golf for four — there’s something for everyone. Pamper yourself with spa and salon gift certificates or catch a show with tickets from Broadway in Tucson, the Tucson Symphony Orchestra, and Fox Theatre. Sports fans will love the U of A basketball tickets, Arizona Bowl tickets, and Tucson Roadrunners gear. Add in local restaurant gift cards and family favorites like the Reid Park Zoo and Tucson Botanical Gardens, and it’s clear — this year’s auction is full of can’t-miss treasures that support a great cause! The silent auction will be available online and in person.
