On behalf of Glen Park School’s PTO*, I write to kindly request your consideration of an in-kind donation to our annual auction, which will be held at the vibrant cultural center SOMArts at 934 Brannan Street in San Francisco this year. In addition, we are planning a multi-day online auction prior to the in-person event, to bring even greater exposure and recognition to our valued supporters and local businesses.  

Glen Park School, belovedly known as “Big Blue”, is a K-5 elementary school in the Glen Park neighborhood within the San Francisco Unified School District, and has the honor of educating children in San Francisco for over 110 years.   We strive to make our culturally and economically diverse school a place for children to flourish in their youth and to prepare academically and social-emotionally for the academic years ahead of them. 

As Glen Park School’s primary supporting organization, the PTO heeds our esteemed educators’ call to action to support learning. In recent years, the PTO has provided pivotal new and ongoing financial support for the following:

-A school garden, chicken coop, and a garden educator position 
-Additional hours for our school librarian and school resource teacher
-StageWrite, a program that builds literacy through theater, provided to every grade level
-A gift of one brand-new book for each child at the annual book fair, so that every child may have the pride of building their personal library, and none are left out
-This academic year, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, provided an additional high-quality air purifier for each classroom

The teachers, staff, and, most of all, the over 300 children of Glen Park School would be thrilled with your generous in-kind donation to directly fund PTO projects like these.  It’s also a great way to promote your business to our school community.  As a 501(c)(3) public charity, your donation is tax-deductible to the extent allowable by law. Our tax ID is 26-4665571.

If I can provide you with additional information, or if you’re able to provide an in-kind donation to the auction and would like to make arrangements, please feel free to contact me at 415-699-0970 or dlygsf@@gmail.com.
