Glenridge is a magical place where kids spend as much time outdoors splashing in mud puddles, digging for worms, and identifying birds through their tiny binoculars as they do learning inside. The school’s nature-based curriculum, its special location, and its commitment to cultural and economic diversity make it a one-of-a-kind place for children to learn, grow, and flourish. Even in these unusual times, Glenridge has kept its doors open, ensuring a safe, uninterrupted learning environment for our children, taking advantage of its unique outdoor space.

To keep costs low, parents do a lot of work at Glenridge—including putting in ample classroom time and helping organize and run our annual fundraising auction. The auction’s success is vital to the school's ability to provide a high-quality, low-cost preschool education for children of the Bay Area. For the third time in Glenridge’s 50-year history, this year’s auction will take place virtually on Saturday, November 5, 2022 at 7:30pm. The auction is always a popular event and we expect more than 400 friends, family, and alumni to attend our virtual auction. This event  includes an online silent auction spanning a week from October 26 through November 3. They’ll have the opportunity to bid on unique and amazing items representing the generous spirit of businesses like yours.

We realize that this is still a difficult time for business, but if your financial circumstances allow, we would be very grateful if you’d be willing to donate goods, services, or a monetary donation. Anything you would love to give, we would love to feature. Your donation is tax-deductible (tax ID# 94-1731144). Your business will receive enhanced, ongoing exposure to many potential customers, in addition to virtual auction attendees, on our virtual auction site leading up to our virtual auction night. It would be a true treat to be able to expose our school community to your work!

Thank you in advance for your consideration. The entire Glenridge school community would tremendously appreciate your generous donation to our event. 

With warm regards,

Lisa, Mom of Isla, class of ‘23
