School Events Week 2/17
General Gala Donations, Wine for Gala
GENERAL GALA DONATIONS
Unfortunately this year, we have not been able to collect many donations for our general Gala. Last year we had about 900+ donations and this year, we only have 120 so far. So, it is so very important for all of us to get as many donations as we can in the next two weeks. The donations can be anything!!!
Some examples are:
- Restaurant gift cards (if you frequent a restaurant, I am sure they would love to give you a gift card. Those sell the best at the Gala)
- Summer Camps
- Children's Products
- Wine (a few of the parents are collecting wine bottles this week at the Stop & Drop. The wine needs to be $20+ so we can auction it off at the gala. Please DONATE! This is super easy)
- Hair & Make up gift cards (Ask your stylist for whatever they can give. Maybe a haircut?)
- Fitness Classes
- Hotels (Do you know someone who works for a hotel? Call them and ask for a weekend getaway at their hotel. You will be surprised how many hotels are willing to donate)
- Cars (No, we are not asking for a car donation! Ha! ;-) But if you know a dealer, please ask them for a sponsorship. Any level would be great. And if they are super nice, ask for a car to be presented at our gala, and a week of test drive for a winner at the Gala)
- Autograph of someone famous. (Do you have any friends in Hollywood?)
- Products! Watches, Jewelry, Electronics, music instruments etc.
- If you know of a business that can benefit from advertisement in our Gala Program, please have them contact me. They can purchase ad space for as little as $50.
Basically, any store that you go to, any service that you get, ask them for a donation! Don't be shy! ;-)
Thank you!
