Imagine the golden glow of twilight stretching across an endless horizon, layered with the lush colors and textures of the safari—jewel tones, sunset hues, and rich patterns that feel alive with energy. This year’s auction captures the true spirit of exploration: vibrant, dynamic, and full of possibility, where adventure is anything but muted.

It’s a celebration of shared purpose: gathering as a community, supporting bold ideas, and embracing the journey ahead for our students. Welcome to Safari Soirée — where every step we take together creates a brighter future.

The annual Maclay Auction offers a thoughtfully curated evening from start to finish. Guests will enjoy a digital silent auctiona high-energy live auction featuring premier items, a bourbon bar and signature cocktails, and a seated, chef-inspired dinner. As the night unfolds, the dance floor opens with a DJ keeping the energy high for a celebration that carries late into the evening.

Set against the backdrop of a sunset evening filled with celebration, this year’s auction is more than a party. It is an opportunity to come together to strengthen and expand the programs that make Maclay exceptional. From inspiring academics to thriving arts and athletics, your support fuels the experiences that shape tomorrow’s leaders.

Every paddle raised and every table filled helps our students explore, learn, and thrive. We are deeply grateful for the generosity of the Maclay community and our local business partners who make the auction a meaningful success each year. Thank you for being part of the journey.
