The Peck Slip School Auction Explained in 6 Ways:
1) What is it?
Parents of Peck Slip host a rockin’ adults-only party on June 6, 2019 to give parents, family and friends of Peck Slip the opportunity to let loose together and to raise money for our incredible children. This year’s theme is Studio 5th Floor, so get out those sequins!
2) Why do we do it?
To ensure that Peck Slip continues to uphold the highest standards in education. The proceeds from auction represent a quarter of the PTA’s annual budget and support the amazing enrichment programs at our school, including:
3) How does it work and what can I do to support the auction?
Step 1 – Parents (YOU!) solicit or make donations (details below)
Step 2 – We sell them at the auction (June 6, 2019)
Step 3 – You come enjoy the party on June 6 and buy some of the great experiences or goods from the auction catalog.
If you’d like to join the auction committee or volunteer in any way to help plan one the biggest parent events of the year, please email [email protected]!!
4) What can I solicit or donate?
Think about opportunities through your work or contacts (neighbors, friends, family) to contribute unique items for auction. Items that bring in the most money for auction (and our children) are:
-Tickets to sporting events and Broadway shows
-Restaurants and in-home chef experiences
-Vacation homes
-Family fun experiences (bowling, magic shows, museum tours, etc.)
-Classroom visits from local “celebrities” (perhaps you have a neighbor who is an airline pilot, children’s book illustrator or archaeologist)
5) How do I solicit or donate?
In addition to asking personal contacts, you can ask businesses that you frequent (restaurants, gyms, classes) to donate gift certificates or products. Unsure of what to say when soliciting a donation? No problem! We have lots of soliciting letters and ‘elevator pitch’ examples! Check out these sample solicitation emails: (Examples given below)
Think paper mail might be more appropriate? You may print a letter that is on letterhead and you can hand to your child’s activity coordinator or mail to a potential supporter. Feel free to customize it as needed.
Or, just contact us at [email protected]
6) How do I get the donations to Peck Slip? 1 easy way!
