Welcome to Pillars of Pride and our silent auction! Thank you for participating.

This is the Eighth Annual Biddeford Education Foundation Pillars of Pride recognition and silent auction event, which will be held on October 18, 2025, at 6:00 pm at The Lincoln Hotel. Each year, at Pillars of Pride, the Biddeford Education Foundation honors and recognizes community partners who have been longtime contributors of time, talent, and treasure toward the Biddeford School Department and signify pride in our community. We are pleased to announce that this year, our Pillars and guests of honor are Joyce Tarpy and Maureen Grandmaison. These individuals contributed countless hours to making our school community a better place, and we are excited to celebrate them.

Proceeds from this event support the needs of students in our community that fall outside the regular school budget. Through grant monies, donations, and fundraising efforts, the Biddeford Public School Education Foundation supports aiding in meeting the basic needs of our students (food/clothing/shelter) and teacher mini-grants to enrich student educational experiences.

All auction items will be displayed at the in-person live event; select items will be available only to those in attendance and will not be displayed in the online auction.
