Trivia Night and Auction Donations - How YOU Can Help
Critical to the success of our annual Trivia Night and Auction Event are donations for the auction, raffles and mystery envelopes. While businesses are our primary donors, there are a number of creative ways that YOU, our parent community, can get involved in providing items for the auction:
1) Distribute the Donation Solicitation Packet to local businesses - You can find the targeted list of local businesses on the FOA board outside the staff office. Simply list your name by businesses you are willing to drop the Donation Solicitation Packet off at and take the required number of packets. If a business isn’t on the list just write it in at the end of the list. A PDF version of the Packet is here.
2) Donate an item from your place of business – if you own or work for a business, consider donating an item. A PDF version of the packet is here.
3) Donate an item you don’t want/need anymore – Do have something that is new or still in “as new” condition that you think might make a good auction item? Maybe you received a second slow cooker for Christmas, just never got around to opening that new fan, or now don’t think those cushions you purchased for your lounge room really look the way you imagined. Well, donate them for the auction! If you have something that is new or in as new condition, complete the Donation Form from the Packet here and bring the item into the office. If you have questions about whether something is appropriate, email friendsofashby@ashbyps.vic.edu.au.
4) Donate an item you have made - Are you the creative sort? Do you crochet, knit, make cards, scrapbook, sew, paint, cook, etc? Well, make something to donate for auction, or donate a voucher for a custom item! If you have something you have made or a voucher for a custom item, complete the Donation Form from the Packet here and bring the item in to the school office. If you have questions about whether something is appropriate, email friendsofashby@ashbyps.vic.edu.au.
5) Donate an item with a group – get together with a group of friends or parents from your child’s classroom and create an item for the auction. Below are some ideas of things you might do with groups, where each individual donation is low cost ($5-10 per person), but it will create an interesting item for auction:
• Arts and Crafts Package – have each member of the group donate art supplies e.g. paints, brushes, paper, glue, stickers
• Family Fun Beach Package – have each member of the group donate an beach related item e.g. towels, sunscreen, beach toys
• Cooking with kids package – have each member of the group donate a cooking related item e.g. cookie cutters, spatulas, wooden spoons, mixing bowl
• A case of wine – get together a group of 12 people and have each member of the group donate a bottle of wine
The ideas are really endless and as suggested above don’t have to be expensive for each individual, but when you put them together they make a wonderful item for auction. If you have a group item to donate, complete the Donation Form here and bring your item into the office. If you have questions about whether something is appropriate, email friendsofashby@ashbyps.vic.edu.au.
Please note all donations must be received by May 25, 2012 to ensure inclusion in the Auction Catalogue!
