Tomodachi Auction
April 18 - may 1, 2023
Mark your calendars! The Tomodachi Auction is one of JBBP’s largest fundraisers. Our auctions raise more than $40,000 - to support technology on campus, science, social studies and art field trips, plus all enrichment programs, including PE, Music, Art, Computer Studies, and, of course, Japanese. With upcoming SFUSD budget cuts, we need this important source of income even more than ever to continue to offer our wonderful programs!
After years of absence, we are bringing back an in-person auction event, Tomodachi Live on Friday, April 21. The auction will start online but there will be items available to bid on at the event!
how will it work?
The Tomodachi Auction is a virtual event. We'll have a range of items for you to bid on, from gift certificates to unique experiences to wine, and you get to shop from your keyboard or mobile device. A great way to meet Clarendon families is by buying into hosted events!
Tell Your Friends and Family!
Feel free to tell your friends and family that they can bid too! Only certain community events (buy-in parties) are intended to be restricted to Clarendon families (and you'll see that in the fine print for those items).
Tomodachi LIVE
Where: Friday April 21, 6 - 9pm
Where: Saint Nicholas Antiochian Orthodox Church
Please join us for this special opportunity to mingle with your fellow JBBP parents in the fun and festive atmosphere before the auction closes! This is a casual, family-friendly event, and we want as many of our community members to come as possible.
Adult Ticket: $55 (includes buffet dinner and entertainment)
School-Aged Child Ticket: $25 (includes food and childcare)
Childcare is available but limited spots sold on a first come first served basis. Food (chicken tenders/fries) & supervision included. Unfortunately, we cannot accommodate pre-school aged or younger children but you can bring them along if you cannot find alternative childcare.

how can i help?
Donate Items
Gift certificates are always in high demand: restaurants, merchants, spas, gyms, camps, etc. Event tickets and wine also do very well at the auction.
Create a "Clarendon's Own" Donation
People love Clarendon’s Own auction items! Host events such as dinners or hikes. Parents have already donated dinners at classic SF restaurants and Tiki parties in their own backyards. They are always highly sought after, and there are loads of options:
Offer to host a dinner or cocktail party at your house
Throw a kids sleepover bash
Organize a pool party
Share a talent
Donate a professional skill or service
You are clever and creative, and we can't wait to see what you come up with.
Donations are tax-deductible.
