Procurement & Fundraising FAQ

What is my family supposed to contribute to the event?
We're counting on each family to contribute fantastic auction items valued at $100.
We are also very interested in securing a corporate sponsor or two. If you work for a business, large or small, they may have funds set aside in their marketing, philanthropy, or corporate responsibility budgets to sponsor our event. We have a few tiers of sponsorships available, and it’s a nice tax write-off for the company. Reach out internally to see if something exists, and put Tabitha ([email protected]) in contact with the appropriate party. If your connection results in a sponsorship, your auction contribution is covered!

When do I need to have contributed by?
We’d like all procurement contributions in by March 22nd.

Where should I send my contributions?
Arlene Tarin is our procurement lead this year! You can let her know what you’ll be contributing and coordinate with her to hand off your items.

Does my procurement contribution count towards my family’s fundraising requirements for the year?
Yes, 75% of the sale price of the item counts towards your fundraising requirement for the year.

If I bid on an auction and win, does that count towards my family’s fundraising requirements for the year?
Yes, 25% of the amount you spend on auction items counts towards your fundraising requirement for the year.

Are there any other parts of the event that count towards my family’s fundraising requirements?
Yes, 25% of the money you spend on entrance tickets and 100% of the money you spend on the photo sale counts towards your fundraising requirement for the year.
