There’s something special about walking into a room filled with Bellevue Christian School families, alumni, teachers, and friends—all gathered with a shared purpose. It’s more than a celebration. More than a fundraiser. It’s a joyful reminder of who we are as a school community.
This year, we’re taking that spirit up a notch with a fun and festive theme: Derby Days. So polish those boots, dust off your hats, and get ready to bring a bit of Derby flair to an evening full of fellowship and impact.
The 2026 Annual Auction is just around the corner, and we couldn’t be more excited to invite you to be part of it.

The Heart of the Evening: Supporting the Teacher Endowment Fund
As exciting as the auction items are, the real purpose of the night is the impact of your generosity.
At Bellevue Christian School, we believe that transformational education begins with exceptional teachers: educators who love Christ, love students, and are committed to academic excellence. That’s exactly what the Teacher Endowment Fund is for.
When you give to this fund, you are investing directly in:
- Long-term faculty support
- Professional growth and development
- Competitive compensation to retain gifted educators
- Stability and strength across our academic programs
Our teachers pour into students spiritually, academically, and personally. The Teacher Endowment Fund ensures we can continue building a faculty that reflects the excellence and mission of BCS for generations to come.
Business Sponsorships: A Partnership Worth Celebrating
We are also deeply grateful to the businesses that step forward each year as sponsors. Their partnership plays a vital role in making this event possible and maximizing the funds directed to our school.
To our current sponsors—thank you! Your investment in Bellevue Christian School is an investment in students, families, and our broader community.
For businesses considering sponsorship, the auction offers:
- Visibility among engaged families and community leaders
- Brand recognition in event materials and promotions
- A way to align your business with a mission-driven school
- A tangible way to support educational excellence
Sponsorship opportunities are still available, and we would love to welcome more partners into this impactful opportunity.
