The Annual Lakeland PTA Auction reached a milestone this year as Lakeland Elementary School celebrated its 25th anniversary with a Silver Jubilee event that delivered both a memorable evening and a strong show of community support.
Held at the FedEx Event Center at Shelby Farms, the event welcomed more than 300 attendees who gathered to honor the school’s legacy while investing in its future. Guests enjoyed a warm, festive atmosphere complemented by catering from Humdingers.
By the end of the evening, the auction raised an impressive $54,276.77—demonstrating the continued generosity and commitment of the Lakeland community. As the largest annual fundraiser supporting Lakeland Elementary, the event underscored 25 years of meaningful impact made possible through dedicated PTA leadership and volunteer support.
Live auctioneer Gene Yoder energized the crowd, while a team of PTA volunteers worked behind the scenes to bring the Silver Jubilee vision to life.
More than a celebration of the past, the evening served as a powerful investment in the future, helping ensure continued opportunities and success for Lakeland Elementary students.
