Annual Celebration and Auction
Celebrate. Connect. Contribute.
The heart of Almaden Country Day School isn’t just in our classrooms—it’s in the way we show up for one another. Each spring, we gather not just to raise funds, but to celebrate the vibrant spirit that makes our school home.
While the night features an auction, the true highlight is the chance to connect, celebrate our shared journey, and elevate what is possible for our students and teachers, ensuring our signature programs in music, movement, and tradition continue to flourish and grow.

Become a Sponsor
For over 40 years, ACDS, as a non-profit educational institution, has been dedicated to providing exceptional education to pre-kindergarten through middle school students. Our mission is to nurture confident, well-rounded learners who are prepared to excel academically and contribute positively to their communities.
Why Sponsor?
Our Annual Auction is a vital fundraiser that supports enriching programs such as art, music, world languages, and innovative STEM opportunities, as well as professional development for our dedicated teachers.
Your sponsorship will connect your business with over 400 local families throughout the South Bay—many of whom are eager to support businesses that support our school. It’s a meaningful way to give back while growing your reach within an engaged and loyal community.
What's New?
We’ve expanded our sponsorship program! In the past, sponsorships were primarily tied to our Annual Auction. This year, in addition to an event-specific sponsorship, we have added year-round sponsorship opportunities that provide ongoing visibility to the ACDS community and beyond, maximizing your brand’s exposure and impact throughout the entire academic year.
Sponsorship Opportunities
Please see below for the available sponsorship levels and benefits.
ACDS Family Sponsorship Packages
Our ACDS families are the heart of our school, and these sponsorships offer a personal way to support our community’s biggest night. In addition to corporate partnerships, we invite you to show your support through our Family Sponsorship levels.
