CBGB's: Turn IT to 11!
The 2026 Foothills Auction
This year, we are turning it up.
Way up.
The 2026 Foothills Auction invites you into a night inspired by the raw creativity and bold expression of CBGB’s. A celebration of originality. Of courage. Of standing on a stage and sharing your voice with the world.
Because that is what we nurture at Foothills every day.
Children who think independently.
Children who create bravely.
Children who step forward with confidence.
And sometimes, the volume needs to be set to 11.
Why “Turn It to 11”?
At Foothills School of Arts and Sciences, we weave together the arts and sciences, inspiring students to become joyful, lifelong learners.
That kind of education does not happen quietly.
It happens when children are invited to ask big questions.
When they perform in front of an audience and discover their confidence.
When they build, test, revise, collaborate, and try again.
When authenticity is not just encouraged, but celebrated.
CBGB’s represents fearless creative expression. The Auction represents our collective commitment to sustaining a school where that expression can flourish.
An Evening of Energy and Purpose
Join us for a downtown Boise celebration filled with:
- Live and silent auction experiences
- Music and immersive moments inspired by CBGB’s
- Delicious food and drinks
- Community connection
- Stories that remind us why this work matters
It will be bold. It will be joyful. It will be deeply meaningful.
This is not just a party. It is an investment in the kind of education that empowers children to find their voice and use it.
Why the Auction Matters
Tuition alone does not fully fund the Foothills experience.
The Auction directly supports:
- Innovative arts and sciences programming
- Performances, exhibitions, and experiential learning
- Faculty growth and professional development
- Tuition assistance that strengthens access and belonging
- The materials and spaces that allow children to explore with depth and agency
When you raise your paddle, you are helping ensure that Foothills continues to be a place where children grow into confident thinkers, compassionate collaborators, and courageous creators.
