Description

Financial aid at Lowell directly supports our mission to create an inclusive and diverse community of lifelong learners. Funds raised through the auction are exclusively directed to the financial aid fund—which we need now more than ever. Due to the pandemic, many families in our community face deep economic insecurity, increasing the need for financial aid, which has increased from 16% to 20% of Lowell’s operating budget.

With this in mind, the next auction will be held on April 9th, 2022. The items you donate will be displayed on our auction website, may be promoted on social media, and top items will be auctioned live the night of our event. Your donation will be acknowledged in our auction catalog, which is viewed by more than 500 families, grandparents, faculty, alumni, and friends of the school. Top items can also be promoted on our social media sites which reach more than 3,400 dedicated followers. Lowell School is a 501(c)(3) organization, so your donation is tax deductible.

In spite of the pandemic, last year’s auction raised more than $150,000 for tuition assistance, thanks to the generosity of businesses like yours. We would be most grateful for your support this year. A donation form can be completed online at www.lowellfete.org or you can email us at lowellauction@lowellschool.org. Donation forms are due by March 14, 2022.

On behalf of Lowell’s students and teachers, we wholeheartedly thank you for your consideration. We look forward to showcasing your donation as we maintain Lowell’s principles of inclusion, diversity, social justice, and action. Thank you in advance for your support and generosity!
