On behalf of the Parent-Teacher Organization, staff and children at Brown Elementary School in Natick, we write to ask you to support our students through the contribution of an item or service for our bi-annual auction on Friday, March 24, 2023. Due to the pandemic, this is our first live auction event in four years! We are in unprecedented times and need your help now more than ever. Through partnerships with community organizations and businesses like yours, we are able to  truly enrich the educational experience of our students. 

Historically, this community event has raised more than $20,000 to advance classroom instruction,  provide curriculum enrichment opportunities, and support cultural activities for over 500 students in kindergarten through fourth grades. Funds raised this year will support cultural arts events, fund future field trips, academic enhancements, and advanced learning tools. We hope that you will consider our request so that we may continue to do our part to help all students achieve. 

We welcome a donation of any kind, such as gift cards, passes, merchandise, services, or event tickets.  We do offer sponsorship opportunities for donations at the $250, $500, and $1,000 levels. Sponsorship  benefits include a spotlight in the auction program, recognition at the live auction, and special mention in  all communications prior to the event (newsletter, social media, website, and more.) 

Your donation is tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law. For your reference, our tax identification number is 20-3415620. Your donation can be mailed directly to Brown School at the address listed at the top of the page (Attn: Sarah McNeeley). If it can be emailed, please email it to: sarah.mcneeley@gmail.com.
