Fall 2026 Socials are on sale now!

What’s a Social?

It’s Harvard’s favorite kind of fundraiser — a party with a purpose!

Socials are fun, themed events hosted and sponsored by Harvard families or teachers, with tickets sold by the PTA. From themed parties to learning something new to kid-friendly adventures, Socials bring our community together while raising money for our school.

They often sell out fast — sometimes within minutes — and 100% of the proceeds go directly to Harvard Elementary.

Host a Social, build community, and help showcase what makes Harvard Magic!

Spring/Summer 2027 Socials: Now Accepting Submissions!

It’s time to start planning our Spring/Summer Socials! We’re now accepting submissions for socials taking place February through Summer 2027.

Socials are a fun way to bring Harvard families together, build community, and share something you love with fellow Harvard families.

Once the Spring/Summer Social lineup is finalized, tickets will go on sale January 15, 2027 at 9:00 AM.

This Sounds So Fun! What’s Next?

Anyone can host a Social — and we’d love for you to join in!

You get to choose:

  • The date and location

  • The guest list type (adults-only, 3rd grade families, kinder crew, etc.)

  • The number of attendees

  • And the ticket price

Socials typically take place after the auction and run through the summer and fall. Once you submit your Social idea and it’s approved, we’ll post it on the auction website for ticket sales.

We’ll promote it — but you’re also welcome to spread the word to friends and fellow parents to help it sell out!

After the auction, you’ll receive a list of guests who purchased tickets to your Social, along with their contact info so you can send out event details.

Important: If your Social will take place on Harvard Elementary school grounds, it must be pre-approved. (Don’t worry — the PTA can help with this.)

💡 All ticket proceeds go directly to the Harvard PTA fundraiser, and your hosting expenses are tax-deductible.
