Tricky Tray 2023

Don’t miss Satz’s biggest event and most important fundraiser of the year!

Annual Tricky Tray 2023

Our annual Tricky Tray event is always a hit! It’s a casual night for us to chat, laugh, and win great baskets! It’s bring-your-own food and drink to share with your friends. Last year we made $9,370, and our goal this year is $10,000.

The funds we raise from the auction provide our kids with a memorable 8th-grade graduation dance held at the beautiful The Gramercy, additions to the mindful garden, and other PSG-sponsored events.

Last year, we covered the cost of the entire 8th-grade graduation dance held at The Gramercy and donated to the school’s mindful garden! Without funding from the PSG, these events and ground improvements would not be available for our kids. 

Support the Auction

1. Attend!

Don’t miss the Satz event of the year – purchase tickets at http://bit.ly/trickytraytickets.

How it works:

1. The table head purchases a table when Tricky Tray sales are live (tables are limited so plan ahead!)
2. The table head coordinates with their friends to split the cost, determine who is bringing what food/drinks, etc.
3. Come to the event and have a merry night with good friends, food, drinks, baskets, and luck!

2. Donate

The auction only works with the amazing support of our parents who help solicit donations. Please read our Donation Wish List for ideas and reach out to your contacts. Companies are usually very willing to support public schools.

1. Submit Donations Online By Clicking Tab Above
2. Download Donation Form

3. Bid on Items

This is the most fun. Come to the event ready to bid on unique items, gift cards to your favorite stores and restaurants, fun and unique experiences, and so much more. You can only bid if you attend the event, so make sure you have a seat at a table!

Thank you for your support!

How is this event different from other events?

You can be assured that the proceeds will go directly back to our children and the school. The Tricky Tray event is also meant to be casual and laid-back. There’s no dress code or theme; you are encouraged to come as you are! The event is also potluck style (bring-your-own-food and -drinks). For the home chef, your table will be able to enjoy your homemade cooking/baking. If you’re short on time, you can share a dish or dessert ordered from your favorite restaurant with your tablemates. Socializing, sharing good food and drinks with each other, and cheering for your tablemates when they win baskets is the main idea!

What if I don’t have enough people for a table?

Purchasing a table is optional. Tickets are sold on an individual basis. If you put in your child’s grade on the order form, we will try our best to sit you with other parents with children in the same grade. If you know a few people attending, but are purchasing separately, let us know, and we’ll try to place you at the same table.

How do I know who is bringing what to my table?

Prior to the event, table heads will be assigned to each table, and contact information will be provided. The table head will reach out to their tablemates and coordinate which food and/or drinks each person will bring ahead of time. Tables in the past have also coordinated to contribute a basket to the event.

Is this event only for Satz families?

The Tricky Tray event is open to everyone. You are welcome to purchase as many tables to accommodate your friends or family who you want to share a potluck dinner and/or catch up with. The more, the merrier!

I can’t attend, but how can I help support the event and the school?

We encourage all families to contribute monetarily for us to put a basket together or to donate physical items for a basket. The best way to do it without spending money is to ask for donations from businesses you frequent!

Our Tricky Tray event is made possible by the generosity of individuals and businesses. Please support our 2023 PSG supporters!
