Skytown Co-Op Preschool Fall 2025 Online Auction

Runs Saturday, October 18 @ 10 AM – Saturday, October 25 @ 11PM

Bid, shop, and celebrate community! The Skytown Co-op Preschool Online Auction is officially open — and this year’s lineup is packed with amazing deals, local treasures, and one-of-a-kind experiences you won’t want to miss.

With 80+ incredible items up for grabs — all starting at 30–50% off estimated value — there’s something for everyone. Browse gift cards from local restaurants, family outings, museum passes, performances, spa and wellness experiences, sports and outdoor adventures, handcrafted goods, wine and spirits, and more.

Every bid makes a difference. All proceeds benefit Skytown Co-Op Preschool, Richmond’s one and only co-op preschool and a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Skytown offers play-based programs for children ages 18 months to 5 years.

For more than 60 years, Skytown has thrived thanks to the dedication of its teachers, staff, member families, and community supporters like you. Your participation helps keep our classrooms vibrant, our programs accessible, and our community strong.
