All proceeds will benefit the P.S. 130 PTA, a Title I school in Brooklyn serving over 800 students.

The auction will feature more than 200 items:

There is a suggested $25 donation at the door; drinks and snacks will be served, thanks to event sponsors Kinderee Family Dentistry, opening soon at 2905 Fort Hamilton Parkway, Brooklyn Heights Pediatric Dentistry, Wine & Spirits, and Brewery Ommegang.

Childcare is available for a small fee just down the block at Alden Moves.
 
"This event is a wonderful way to support P.S. 130, and for P.S. 130 to support local businesses," said P.S. 130 PTA Co-President Lisa Jackson Zelznick.

"The Spring Auction is an opportunity to celebrate and continue our tradition of promoting businesses in our community while raising much needed funding for P.S. 130 to support professional development for our teachers, and enrichment programs for students including reading intervention, music, art, and science initiatives."
