Join us for the Midtown High School PTSO's largest fundraiser of the year! Don't miss your chance to mingle with friends while bidding on amazing items through the silent and live auctions. The cocktail reception is fit for a Mardi Gras party and we're offering plenty of hurricanes and po'boys for all. And don't forget our student showcase featuring musicians, artists, robots and more. It's a party and the fun won't stop til we've raised the roof!

Help us meet our fundraising goal of $50,000 for the whole event through ticket sales, sponsorships and auction sales.

Where does my contribution go? How will you spend money raised?

We are so glad you asked. All money raised through the auction sales, donations, wine pull and admissions goes to the Midtown PTSO general fund. We support many programs and activities for our students, teachers, staff and parents. We have previously used money raised for things such as: 

• annual teacher start-up funds for classrooms ($200 for each teacher was given in August 2025)
• teacher appreciation events, meals on training days and other celebratory items
• electronic subscriptions for world language tools
• equipment for laboratories
• entry and travel fees for club competitions including robotics, mock trial, design, journalism and many more
• reading materials
• equipment and travel expenses for special education and physical education classes
• student-led activities to foster community and spirit around the school

If you have a specific interest or item you want to support, we offer Fund-a-Need items specifically towards those. Through these specific funds, your dollars will 100% go to those designated requests. See the auction bidding site to designate your donations.

What are you waiting for?

It's time to buy your ticket to the auction at Park Tavern!

You can buy admission, register to bid and preview items now here: https://midtownmasquerade2026.ggo.bid

Admission options:

1) Save cash by purchasing your $75 Early Bird Ticket (limited quantity available so purchase early). This gets 1 person per ticket access to the event from 7-10pm. 

2) Purchase a regular priced $95 Single Ticket for access to the event from 7pm-10pm.

3) Feeling a little generous? Buy one $250 VIP Ticket to access the 6-7pm cocktail hour in addition to the 7-10pm event. Spend that time in a smaller, more intimate setting to mingle with sponsors and community while sipping specialty cocktails and hors d'oeuvres. Ticket includes 7-10pm entry as well so no need for a separate ticket. 

All in-person admissions/tickets get access to the silent and live auction, entertainment and reception food/beverages at Park Tavern

4) Can't attend the event on Jan. 24th in person? Fear not! You can support the PTSO by purchasing a $50 Online Bidder Only admission. This special ticket gets you access to bid on all silent auction items listed, but not live auction items. You can also support Fund-a-Need items. Without purchasing this ticket or any of the in-person tickets, any bids will be voided.

5) Don't forget our teachers and staff! Donate a Staff Ticket so we can invite and celebrate with our deserving teachers and administration!

Thank you for your support! Buy your tickets now!
