Dear Friends of Racine Christian School,

We are sending you this letter in hopes that you will support our annual Spring Auction, which will be held online via Bid Beacon again this year.

The auction will open on March 12 at 9:00 a.m. and run through March 19 at 9:00 p.m.

In the wake of the economic times and the pandemic, it is more important than ever to have the support of the RCS community. We need your help to continue to provide our students with an education that is in full harmony with the Word of God and to help prepare them for future success. Your commitment to participating in this auction will benefit RCS students by keeping tuition costs down for all students, continuing to purchase rigorous and relevant curriculum, and maintaining our facilities.
