Dear Friends:

I am contacting you on behalf of Edward V. Walton Elementary School in Springfield, NJ. Each year we do a basket auction, which is one of our biggest fundraising endeavors for the year. This year our basket auction will be held on May 3, 2024 at the VFW in Kenilworth.

Since we rely on contributions from businesses and parents for this event, will you please consider donating any of your goods or services for the auction? E.V.W is a great school made up of approximately 650 students and a dedicated faculty who work hard to start our children off on the right foot, socially and academically.

Proceeds from our basket auction are used to fund various school programs, educational class trips, educational assemblies, classroom activities, books and supplies.

This is a great opportunity to promote your business, as all donating businesses will be recognized in the Basket Auction Brochure, which will be distributed to hundreds of attendees, as well as our website. We encourage families to patronize contributing businesses and organizations as a thank you for their support, so please enclose some of your business cards or brochures. Donations can be mailed by April 8, 2024 to the basket auction chair address below, or give us a call/email and we can pick it up from you!
