Questions?Frequently Asked Questions: This page contains answers to common questions of students and parents.
Our annual auction is our major fundraising event. It is a catered dinner for adults, with drinks, dinner, dessert, and dancing. Fun and interesting raffles are also going on throughout the evening. Why must I donate at least a $50.00 item to the donation? Your donations are what make the auction a success. We want quality items that will sell for the price or more for the item. Always include your receipt to get full credit for your donation. Can a business make a donation on my behalf? You can solicit donations from anyone, any business. We provide our non profit number to the business for their taxes. The donation you get goes toward your $50.00 donation and anything above that applies to your $300.00 yearly donation. A service can be donated. Simply turn in a discrption of the service and what business will be performing that service along with a receipt or letter stating the cost. What if I don't have a receipt? The auction committee will then estimate the value of the item and you will be credited for that amount. If I buy something at the auction does it count toward my $300.00? Anything you buy, including raffle tickets, applies toward your $300.00. Can I specify who I want to sit with? Tables of 10 can be purchased for $400.00. Provide the names of the people you want to sit at your table. This event is a sell out so purchase your tickets early. Can I go in on an item with other people? Yes. Many of the live auction items are for a number of people. Pooling your money together to purchase one item is acceptable. You will each receive credit for your personal investment in the item at the time of checkout. Does it take long to check out and get my items? Our check out system goes very smoothly. You simply give the cashier your bid number, they will collect all the bids you won, total it up and give you a receipt. After your payment is collected you take it to a runner who will gather up your winnings. All parents must volunteer a minimum of 5 hours toward the auction or class event. The time can be divided between the two. What happens if I don't give a donation? You will be assessed $100.00 of which only half will be credited toward your $300.00 minimum. |
