Benefit Auction
The O'Neal School
Mardi Gras Benefit Gala
Saturday, February 8, 2025
6:00 - 11:00 PM
Village Pine Venue
Welcome to The O’Neal School Benefit Auction! First starting out as a "Monte Carlo" night and later moving to an "Auction," today we call it the Annual Benefit Auction. It is the single largest annual fundraising event for The O’Neal School. For the first few years of the School’s opening, the Benefit was extremely important as it was relied upon to cover payroll and other expenses for the remainder of the school year. Today, the funds raised from the Benefit are a part of the annual operating budget for the School.
For over a half-century, this event has been one of the spotlight affairs for the Southern Pines/Pinehurst area. From trips to Europe and concert tickets to puppies and local hand-crafted pottery, many creative activities and items have been on the auction block. Local businesses continue to support the School by donating items and packages for its silent auction segments. Drawings for $10,000, jewelry, a Cadillac, and a Maserati have been included in the past.
We invite our O’Neal parents, alumni, and friends to enjoy a great evening at a historical event that benefits quality education and enrichment for students of The O’Neal School.
Early Bird Registration starts on December 1st!
Register for the Mardi Gras Benefit Gala by December 20th

ten 50/50 Tickets (A $1,000 value)!
The winner of last year's 50/50 drawing won half of $7,600.00!!!
