A Night at the Ranch. A Stronger Future for Our Herd.
Every other year, our community comes together for an in-person auction—one of Spring Forest Middle School PTA’s largest fundraisers. Bobcat Ranch is our chance to gather for a memorable evening and make a meaningful investment in our students. Our goal for 2027 is to raise $95,000 to directly support programs, resources, and experiences that enhance learning and school life for more than 1,000 SFMS students.
Reaching that goal takes our whole community: families who attend, businesses and individuals who underwrite the evening, donors who contribute auction items, and volunteers who bring it all together. Every contribution helps create more opportunities for our students.
Three Ways to Make a Difference
- Get Your Tickets: Gather your friends, reserve a VIP table or purchase General Admission tickets, and join us for a night at the ranch.
- Underwrite: Help cover event expenses so more of the money raised can directly benefit SFMS students.
- Lend a Hand: Donate an auction item, host a parent-hosted party, or join the committee.
Explore each opportunity below and find your place in the ranch crew.
