Description

Planning is underway for our Zion Lutheran School Auction. For 34 years this auction has been supporting Christ-centered
education and academic excellence for the students in our community. This is the largest fund-raising event of the year and we
need your help to make it bigger than ever.
Money raised is used for major school expenses, such as security upgrades, technology, resource teachers and cutting-edge
curriculum. The tuition assistance program is also supported with a percentage of the proceeds. As a school that does not receive
government support, it can be difficult to serve students in need. At Zion, our learning is one-of-a-kind and feels like family.
With your donations we can continue to offer tuition assistance for all local families in our community, including families of
military veterans and current Active, Guard and Reserve military members.
These donations are vital for Zion to be a leader in the private school sector. As we continue to navigate this pandemic we also
want to be sensitive to the state of our area businesses and support them as much as possible. We pray that any donations we
receive will help boost business for our donors.

2)Make a cash donation or underwrite an expense
