Description

I am writing to ask for your support for the annual St. Nicholas School Auction planned for Saturday,

March 25, 2023, at the Crowne Plaza, Palo Alto.  It is the school’s 70th anniversary and this year’s auction will be an extra special celebration!

 

St. Nicholas School is a Catholic elementary school serving 280 children from Los Altos and the surrounding communities from transitional kindergarten through eighth grade. St. Nicholas is committed to educating children to achieve their full potential academically, spiritually, physically, and socially. 

Your donation will help St. Nicholas achieve the financial goals necessary to continue our tradition of academic excellence and community leadership. The proceeds of our last auction provided important upgrades to our campus and additional resources for our music, art, and enrichment programs.  The auction was such a huge success! This year’s auction proceeds will again provide resources for our students and help us continue to build for the future.

How does your business benefit from supporting St. Nicholas School?

●        Targeted marketing. A donation to our auction is a wonderful way to promote your business to the large community of St. Nicholas school families and to the parishioners of St. Nicholas and St. William Parish. You will receive mention in our auction catalog and at the event, and depending on donation, you may be featured with an ad placement or scrolling signage at the event.

 

●        Community momentum for your business. St. Nicholas School families and parishioners actively patronize and support auction donors! We love to shop, eat, and play in Los Altos, Mountain View, throughout the SF Bay Area and the surrounding areas. We thankfully shop with our supporters.

●        All donations are tax deductible! Your organization gains key marketing and product placement with a group of interested, appreciative patrons essentially for free! Utilize the tax-free nature of all donations and sponsorships to get the best return for your marketing dollars! (St. Nicholas School Tax ID# 94-2734503)

 

We are delighted to receive a donation of merchandise, services, services, unique experiences, gift certificates, cash sponsorships, or advertising.

Please mail your donation directly to St. Nicholas School at 12816 El Monte Road, Los Altos Hills, CA 94022, Attn.: Auction Donations.

We request that all donations are made by March 6, 2023. Should you have any questions about the auction, please email me directly.

Thank you for your consideration and generosity.
