Do your thing for Spring Fling
For over 28 years, Spring Fling has been raising funds for Piedmont’s three elementary schools. This season of events brings together the entire elementary school community to support our children’s education.
Spring Fling is successful only because of the support of our wonderful community. Our goal for Spring Fling is 100% parent participation. There are a variety of ways for you to get involved whether by volunteering, sponsoring, donating/purchasing auction items, and/or attending the event.
If you are interested in helping with future Spring Flings, please email us at info@piedmontedfoundation.org.

What is Spring Fling?
What is the Spring Fling?
Spring Fling is a season of events all benefiting Beach, Havens, and Wildwood. It includes:

Theme Parties: Hosted theme events for parents & students held throughout the spring
Online Auction: Bid on exciting adventures & wonderful items while supporting our schools
Silent & Live Auction at Gala: A selection of special events & items will be available to bid on at our Gala
Spring Swing Golf & Tennis Classic: A day of golf and tennis at Claremont Country Club
I donated to the Giving Campaign. Why should I participate in Spring Fling?
Spring Fling is our only fundraiser specifically for our elementary schools. Every dollar raised goes directly to Beach, Havens and Wildwood to help fund programs vital to our schools. This is our chance to fund items that are important to elementary families. In past years, funds from Spring Fling have supported student wellness, music and art programs, purchased Chromebooks and classroom technology, and even bought back furlough days.
What are Theme Parties?
Our biggest community builder, each year, parents plan and host small themed parties. These parties may be for adults, kids, or the entire family. In past years, these have included the 5th Grade Luau, movie nights, and block parties. Signing up for a party is another great way to get involved and support Spring Fling.
What does a Gala ticket include?
Your ticket to the Gala includes a cocktail hour, sit-down dinner, open bar and entertainment for the evening. It is a super fun night full of surprises!
Can I sit with my friends at the Gala?
Yes! When you purchase tickets online, you can enter your friends names. We try very hard to accommodate all requests.
What is the Comings & Goings Photography Project?
Kindergarten and 5th Grade are extra special years for our students. We capture the first year of elementary school and the last in our Comings & Goings Photography project. A professional photographer comes into the classroom to taking a beautiful headshot of our students that are shared digitally and can be printed for framing. To see samples and learn more, visit PiedmontSpringFling.org.
Are sponsorships available?
Yes! We have opportunities for both parent and business sponsors. Visit PiedmontSpringFling.org for details or feel free to call the PEF office at 510-653-1816 to find a sponsorship package that works for you.
Spring Fling 2025
Spring Fling 2025 events started in January with our online Camp Auction, continued with the Comings & Goings photography project, parent sponsorships, online auction, and theme parties, and culminated with over 300 parents celebrating at the Spring Fling Gala held April 25, 2025, at Oakland’s Scottish Rite Center. It was a truly unforgettable evening.
This year’s Spring Fling raised over $400,000 for Beach, Havens and Wildwood. These funds will help maintain essential elementary school counselors and continue to enrich our students’ experiences in the visual and performing arts.
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who made Spring Fling possible—whether you volunteered, organized an event, became a parent sponsor, participated in the auctions, hosted a theme party, or simply joined us for a fun and festive night.
