Moos is rooted in history, diversity, and neighborhood pride — and every year our students bloom into who they are becoming: curious, confident, and creative learners.

Funds raised from this auction and the Gala event can support one or more of these essential needs at Moos:

Improvements and repairs to our outdated building and the surrounding play space that CPS can't cover
Future supplemental teacher & curriculum support to bring more STEM education into the lives of our students
Future supplemental afterschool programming so that more students can access aftercare and expand club offerings
Community building, staff appreciation, 8th Grade DC Trip supplementation, and more!

Every ticket, bid, and donation nurtures the environment our children need to thrive.

Do you have your GALA tickets yet?!

The party is Saturday, 2/21, for any Moos caregivers, staff, friends, and neighbors who are 21 and over. Grab tickets HERE!

All auction items will be displayed for you to browse and bid on but the real MVP will be the Student Art Auction, available for in-person viewing for one night only, at the Gala!

Tickets include dinner, drinks, music, and invaluable connection with community. And if you buy VIP tickets before they sell out, you'll enjoy a whiskey and wine tasting with hors d'oeuvres from 6pm until the doors open for everyone at 7.

We cannot wait to see you there!
