Silent Auction & Mobile Giving
For 100 years, young men have carried shells to the Schuylkill before sunrise, learned discipline on cold mornings, and discovered brotherhood that lasts a lifetime.
The Centennial is more than a celebration of our past — it is an investment in the next generation of Prep rowers.
Throughout the evening, guests are invited to participate in our Silent Auction and Mobile Giving Campaign. Every dollar raised directly supports St Joseph’s Prep Crew and helps ensure that future crews have the equipment, coaching, and opportunities that shaped so many of us.
How It Works
Tonight’s fundraising is entirely mobile.
You can bid, donate, and participate from your phone in just a few taps.

No paper. No lines. No waiting.
Silent Auction
Our Centennial Silent Auction features a curated collection of items inspired by the traditions and spirit of Prep Crew.
The auction will remain open during the event and will close later in the evening. Winning bidders will be notified automatically on their phones.
All proceeds benefit the St Joseph’s Prep Crew program.
Mobile Giving
Not everyone wants to take something home.
Many guests simply want to help.
Our Mobile Giving Campaign allows you to make a direct gift to Prep Crew in any amount. These contributions have the greatest impact — they go immediately toward:
• Equipment and shell maintenance
• Coaching and training resources
• Regatta travel
• Athlete development
• Keeping rowing accessible to every student
Gifts of any size matter. When hundreds of alumni, parents, and friends each contribute, the program moves forward together.
Why Your Support Matters
Prep Crea exists because generations of families and alumni have stepped forward — not because they had to, but because the program shaped who they became.
Tonight you are continuing that tradition.
You are helping a freshman walk into a boathouse for the first time.
You are helping a senior compete in his final race.
You are helping friendships form that will last the rest of a lifetime.
Thank You
Whether you bid, donate, or simply joined us to celebrate, your presence matters.
Your generosity ensures that St Joseph’s Prep Crew will continue to launch from the Schuylkill for the next 100 years.
