On Saturday, March 26, 2022, St. Mary’s Visitation Parish (SMV) will host its annual Auction for
Education. This year’s theme, Peace, Love & Prayer, guarantees to deliver a festive atmosphere as well as
unique items in both the live and silent auctions. We are counting on generous donors like you to make
the 2022 Auction for Education a great success! We are gratefully accepting any donated merchandise,
gift certificates, cash gifts, tickets to sporting events, week or weekend getaways, and sponsorships to
aid in the effort.
Mobile bidding is available with OneCause so everyone in attendance as well as those who cannot be
physically present are encouraged to use their smartphones, computers or tablets to log on to our
auction website to see and bid on donated items from anywhere at any time. The site is currently live at
https://one.bidpal.net/smv2022 and is accepting donations and sponsorships. Tickets will be available
for purchase in mid-February and for item preview around March 12…nearly two weeks prior to the
auction itself! This will enable guests to view your name or business on-line as well as in-person the
evening of the auction, thereby optimizing your donated item’s exposure!
If you are able to help, please complete the attached donation and/or sponsorship forms and return it
with the item(s) you wish to donate. Alternatively, you may opt to fill out the online forms at
https://one.bidpal.net/smv2022 We will be following up this solicitation letter with a personal phone
call from one of our committee members. We are also able to pick up donations for your convenience.
We would appreciate receiving your donation by March 7th to meet the necessary dates to stage and
prepare items for our electronic bidding process.
For over 160 years, St. Mary’s Visitation School has continuously provided its students with a quality,
Catholic education, a mission we hope to continue for future generations with the help of generous
donors like you.
If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Thank you in advance for your consideration and generous support for our school!
