IBWHS 2024 Auction
We have some great things planned for you
Get Ready for the IBWHS Auction
The Ida B. Wells Foundation raises money to increase staffing and bridge the gap between what public funding provides and the comprehensive educational experience all our children deserve. In addition, 30% of what we raise goes to the district to support other PPS schools.
The Foundation hosts an Annual Auction to raise funds for the Ida B. Wells Foundation and also allows our Athletic Teams, School Clubs and other Programs to raise funds for their various needs. It's also a fun opportunity to come out and meet others from the IBWHS Community!
So please join us for our Annual Auction on April 19, 2024 at the EcoTrust Buiding - Irving Street Studio (907 NW Irving St), from 7:00 - 11:00 p.m. It's going to be a Glow Up blast!
