RAISE YOUR PADDLE: Exciting Announcement: We have an anonymous donor that will be matching all donations to our “Raise Your Paddle” (up to $20,000 school auction donation). All proceeds from “Raise Your Paddle” are used for specific needs of the school (not day-to-day operational expenses). This year’s money raised will go toward building our school-based technology infrastructure, bringing our systems up to date and equipment for students and programs focused on STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math). This will be a multi-year campaign and we are very excited to kick it off with the matching donor. Donation forms were included with your invitation, or feel free to contact the school office for another copy.
IMPORTANT AUCTION INFORMATION:
We are happy to announce that due to the outstanding response and success of last year’s fundraising initiatives,
we are now able to include the auction in fundraising tracking. We will offer a credit of 3% to your fundraising
account for the following auction related items:
Tickets to the Event, Donations, “Raise Your Paddle,” and all auction purchases made at the event.
