The student of the winning bidder will pick up lunch from the faculty dining room EVERY DAY FOR THE ENTIRE SCHOOL YEAR. Now that's a win-win! Valid for the 2018-19 school year only.

Eight guests will spend a memorable evening on Sunday, May 20th with Adrian Molina, writer and co-director of Pixar's award-winning film Coco.

A Pixar animator and storyboard artist since 2006, Adrian has been involved in the making of Ratatouille, Toy Story 3, and Monster's University. Your party will enjoy delicious cocktails and an authentic Peruvian dinner and will be joined by Adrian's husband and College Prep Latin teacher, Ryan Dooley.

Up to four people have the opportunity to enjoy insider access to one of Silicon Valley's most secretive innovation labs—Google X. At the lab you will see self-driving cars, flying cell phone towers, parts of flying wind turbines, and autonomous drones designed to deliver small packages. There might be a robot or two, some 3D printers, or some Googlers meditating or playing ping pong, foosball, or PlayStation.

Your tour will be led by Joel Segre, College Prep class of '98, who works on the Strategy team at X, helping to determine the best business case for each technology in the early innovation pipeline. Depending on timing we'll grab lunch at X or perhaps on Google's main campus.

Enjoy Poseidon Vineyard Chardonnay and Pinot Noir paired with lunch and a discussion of all things College Prep, sailing, or wine-related. Picture a fast, sporty, and fun afternoon rather than a leisurely cruise. This package includes a half case of Poseidon Vineyard or Obsidian Ridge wines to take home.

Are you hooked on Grey's Anatomy? Did you aspire to be Doogie Howser, M.D.? Your student can shadow Dr. Alexander Sah '92, an Orthopedic Surgeon specializing in hip and knee replacement surgery, in the operating room and clinic. In the O.R. your student will be able to see a less invasive surgery allowing same-day ambulation and outpatient total joint replacement. In clinic, your child will get to follow the staff and meet patients. Your child will get a glimpse of life as a surgeon and learn about the path through medical school and training to become better acquainted with possible career choices in medicine.
