My name is Sheree Gibson and I am a parent at Madrona K-8, located in the Edmonds neighborhood. I am coordinating the MCT Silent Auction that will be held during our run of performances of “The Boyfriend” at the Mountlake Terrace High School Theatre.
We hope you will consider contributing to our Silent Auction, as we feel strongly that this offers you the opportunity to reach new customers while simultaneously supporting your community and raising funds for a neighborhood school - a win-win scenario for all!
The Silent Auction will take place during all performances of “The Boyfriend” March 24th-27th, 2011. All proceeds from the event go directly to support Madrona K-8 students’ vital Art, Drama and Music programs that build character and confidence in our students. By donating to our cause, your business will be featured in a catalog on our Bear Facts website, viewed by the families of our 650+ students. Additionally, more than 400 viewers will be at each of the six performances, resulting in the exposure of more than 2400 individuals to your products or services.
There are several ways for you to make a contribution:
• Donate a product or sample of your products to be auctioned at our school event
• Donate a service or a mini session of all of your services to be auctioned at our school event
• Donate an “unforgettable experience,” which would remind our parents to patronize your business, to be auctioned at our school event
• Think outside the box: What could you donate that would draw families to your business or firm? We’d be happy to discuss creative ways to make a donation that
would be meaningful to your business.
Residents and families living throughout the Greater Seattle Area attend our performances and Silent Auction each year - think of the exposure to all these potential customers that a donation would bring! In addition, Madrona families are even more motivated to patronize sponsors like you, fully appreciating that your auction donations fund our school programs.
Should you be interested in supporting our school, please visit our School Web Site to download the Procurement Letter, Auction Donation Form, and information. We respectfully request that all contributions be received by March 1, 2011.
Even if you don't represent a business, I hope you all take some time and stick those procurement forms in your car when you’re out shopping or stopping by your favorite coffee shop. It only takes a minute to give them the forms; you don’t even have to say much - everything is included in the Procurement Letter.
Ideally, I would like all items procured by March 1st. If there items that trickle in after that of course that’s okay. But I would like most in by March 1st so we can assess, organize and pretty them up for the auction and raffle.
After the auction, we will mail you a Statement of Donation for tax-related purposes. All donations are tax deductible our ID number is 91-1423509.
Without the generous support from our business and family communities, these supplemental programs would not be sustainable for our students.
