The Golden Bell Auction

Benefiting the Direct Tuition Assistance Fund

Now in its 50th year, the annual Golden Bell Auction is a beloved tradition that brings together current and past Bellarmine families and friends of the school for an evening of delicious food, exceptional wine, fantastic company, exclusive items and experiences auctioned off in support of Bellarmine’s Direct Tuition Assistance Fund.

Every year, generous donors allow us to auction off amazing big-ticket items like vacation and golf packages, Bay Area sports season tickets, bespoke wine bundles, cars, jewelry, and more — in addition to more than 100 silent auction items spanning premium graduation seating, dining experiences, and items from businesses across the Bay Area!

Not only is this a meaningful way to support students’ access to a Bellarmine education; it’s also a way for your business to gain visibility within our community.

Ways to Get Involved

You can support the Golden Bell Auction by:

  • Buying individual tickets or a table
  • Being an underwriter
  • Donating an auction item
  • Attending a gift gathering party
  • Volunteering at the event

"At Bellarmine, we don’t just learn math, science, or history. We learn how to live a fulfilling and meaningful life. We learn how to be emotionally happy and fulfilled human beings who care for others and ourselves. Through experiences like Kairos, and through every interaction with the wonderful teachers, coaches, and students of Bellarmine, we are given tools to build meaningful relationships, to navigate life’s challenges with resilience and grace, and to find joy and purpose."
