Spring Auction 2012 - get your tickets!

The St. Francis Elementary School Annual Spring Auction will be held April 21, 2012.  This year’s auction will be held at The Vizcaya in Sacramento.  Our annual auction is the largest fundraiser for our school. The success of the event is contingent upon the help and support of our families and partners. The money raised is essential to offset the daily operating budget for our school, keeping tuition affordable for our families.   

Fundraising is an obligation for all of us, so how can you help?  You can:

• Donate an item or a service.  Perhaps you have a timeshare or a vacation home and you would like to donate a week or weekend. Do you have season tickets to a sporting event, theater or ballet?  Donations are tax deductible.  Fill out a donation form online or download a printable form.

• Secure a sponsorship spot in our promotional materials and program.  This can add visibility to your business and it’s a great way to show your support.  Pay online or download a printable form to pay by check.

• Buy tickets to the event.  Easiest way!  Come to the event and enjoy great food, drinks, company, and dancing.  Tickets are available on the auction website or download the form to pay by check. 

• Bid and/or purchase items at the auction.
• Volunteer - you can sign up to volunteer or bring items online

The annual auction is a school-wide collective effort.  We appreciate any and all donations for the event.  Please contact either one of use if you have any questions.

Guest emcee Nick Toma of Good Day Sacramento

With the St Francis Spring Auction less than four weeks away, big thanks to all who have donated items or volunteered so far. With your continued support this event will be a big success.  If you haven’t already done so, buy your tickets today because it will probably be a sell-out!

Nick Toma, charismatic co-anchor of “Good Day Sacramento” is our emcee this year. No doubt Julissa Ortiz last year’s emcee and fellow TV talent told him what a great group we were!  Special thanks to Patrick Powers.

This year we want to thank our most generous supporters by offering a bottle of “2005 Von Strasser Winery Cabernet Sauvignon, Diamond Mountain District” for anyone who spends $1,000 or more on silent and live auction items. This outstanding selection retails for $50. In addition, the evening’s overall top spender will receive two tickets to next year’s auction.

Please take a look at the Spring Auction blog, scope out your favorite items and bring your checkbook or credit card and let the bidding begin!

We still need:

Wine donations for the Wine Lover’s Estate Collection are still being collected – your child will receive a free dress pass.  Download the donation form from the website and bring it in with a bottle of wine worth at least $15.  You can pick up a bottle or two at Pine Cove Bottle Shop at 29^th & E - a generous supporter of St. Francis fundraisers for many years.

We also have a few event night and silent auction basket needs that can be found on our blog at: http://sfeauction.blogspot.com/p/donations-needed.html

A huge thank you to our sponsors:
