Bid & Bash

You are invited to a night of revelry and fun-raising at
Bid & Bash 2026: A Love Letter to San Francisco,
on Saturday, April 4!

Join us at the historic Bimbo’s 365 Club as we celebrate the city that serves as our classroom. This evening is a tribute to the neighborhoods we walk, the stories we share, and the creative spirit that defines our home. It’s a night to honor the people and the histories that built San Francisco—and the students who represent its future.
 
The night will feature silent and live auctions, an enticing raffle, and plenty of time for dinner, dancing, and connection. Proceeds directly advance the CDS mission to support every student's learning journey, along with our robust Sliding Scale Tuition program. The generosity of the community ensures our school remains as diverse, innovative, and resilient as the city itself.
 
Save the date and get ready for a night to remember: San Francisco-style!

Tickets go on sale in February. We can’t wait to celebrate our city and our school with you!
