What Is a Social or Sign-Up Party?
Socials and Sign-Up Parties are exclusive parties and events hosted and sponsored by Hogg families, teachers, and friends of the Hogg community—with tickets sold during our annual auction.
They’re some of our most popular auction items and almost always sell out—some within minutes! 🎉
Best of all, 100% of the proceeds benefit the Hogg MS PTA, helping fund programs, activities, and resources for our students and school.
This Sounds So Fun! What’s Next?
Anyone can host a Social or Sign-Up Party! Whether your elementary school called them “Socials,” “Sign-Up Parties,” or something else, the idea is the same: you create a fun event for the Hogg community, and families purchase tickets through the auction.
You choose the time, place, number of guests, type of attendees (adults, moms, 8th graders, 6th grade families, etc.), and ticket price.
Socials and Sign-Up Parties typically take place after the auction and throughout the spring and summer. Once your event is submitted and approved, it will be added to the auction website for families to purchase tickets.
We’ll promote the events on the auction website, but word of mouth is encouraged! Invite your friends, classmates, and Hogg crew to grab their tickets before they sell out.
After the auction closes, you’ll receive the contact information for everyone who purchased a ticket to your event. You can then reach out directly to guests with the details, logistics, and any additional information they need.
