Spring Fundraiser and Auction
The Development Committee’s work culminates in this annual community building event. This year the auction will be held on May 2, 2015 at the Presidio Golf Course Club House. Mark your calendars for the big day now as it is sure to be a great event.
The auctions - online, silent and live - are always the highlight of the event. They also yield significant funding for the school and are made possible almost entirely by support from parents who either solicit or donate items. Consistent with previous years, we are asking that each family donate a minimum of 3-5 items for the auction this year. We accept almost anything (seriously), but to give you an idea some examples of past donations include:
- Weekend or week long stays at vacation homes (Lake Tahoe, Napa, etc.)
- Sporting event tickets (49ers tickets, SF Giants box, etc.)
- Photography sessions
- Rounds of golf (Pebble Beach, etc.)
- Restaurant gift certificates
- Spa gift certificates
- Birthday party venues (SF Gymnastics, Tutu School, etc.)
- Store or website gift certificates (Roam, Whole Foods, SoulCycle, etc.)
- Gift baskets (William Sonoma, Sephora, etc.)
We are actively collecting donations and will continue accepting donations up to March 31st of 2015.
To help you in your efforts, please find links to a sample donation solicitation letter (please feel free to adjust/personalize), a donation form and a few solicitation tips to help you with your efforts, should you decide to pursue this route.
We accept donations year round! If you have items (or ideas) that you would like to contribute, please email Vanessa Loy at vanessa.loy@gmail.com. In the past, vacation homes, trips and special events have been popular.
Remember May 2, 2015! Come to the event ready to celebrate the teachers, kids and artwork and to bid for a great cause.
