At St. John’s Catholic School (SJCS), we strongly believe in integrity, respect, and community
service. Our students, from pre-K through 8th grade, are instilled with these values every day
through an exceptional education anchored by faith. Growing up with these core values and
service to community, many of our graduates have helped build reputable businesses in the
Midcoast region and beyond.

SJCS is currently preparing for our annual Auction - which will be hosted May 13th, 2023,
Mother’s Day Weekend. This event includes a week-long online auction followed by a ticketed
dinner with an in-person auction led by auctioneer Ruth Ludwig Lind, CAI, AARE, BAS, ME
license #1571. The Auction is our school’s largest fundraiser and helps us meet the greatest
needs of the school. It allows us to provide an exceptional education for all of our students,
including scholarship support, so that all who would like the opportunity to attend SJCS are able
to without financial worry. Would you consider donating a service, product or live auction
item?

In gratitude for your support, we show our appreciation in as many ways as possible. We will
list your donation in our online auction catalog and on the event donor page; we expect three
hundred people to participate in the online auction. We will also promote our event and
recognize business donors through our social media outlets which reach over a thousand
people. Additionally, we will acknowledge you after the event in our online and printed parish
bulletin which is circulated to over a thousand parishioners in the Midcoast region. We cannot
hold our event without community partners like you.

To learn more, please call the school at 207-725-5507, email us at auction@sjcsbme.org, or visit

Our children are counting on your support for a bright future!
With many thanks,
