Description

The Linn-Mar School Foundation is currently seeking silent auction donation items. We are quickly approaching our annual fundraiser, The Mane Event. This event is the primary fundraiser for the Foundation, which supports the Linn-Mar Community School District. We are focused on supporting students and teachers in the district and enhancing their educational excellence. This support may be through the funding of program needs or through assisting students in financial need. 

Most recently we implemented the Enhance Linn-Mar Educators Award which has distributed over $50,000 back to teachers for items purchased for their classrooms. Additionally, we made a $100,000 commitment to the middle and intermediate schools to support the replacement of irreparable 30-year-old band equipment. 

Your company making an auction donation will help the Linn-Mar Foundation fulfill our mission to support educational excellence. Your donation will be put into our silent auction and our 300 event attendees will have the ability to bid on your item. We have also allowed for those not attending the event to bid online.  We believe your presence would demand the attention of our bidders. Last year we were able to raise over $60,000 at the Mane Event and the auction represents over one third of this amount!


The 300 attendees of our event are business owners, parents, educators, and prominent community members. They shop here locally and are thrilled to support the companies that support our event!

The Foundation would greatly appreciate your support of our event and hope to hear back from you by January 5, 2024. We will have a committee member reach out to you via phone in November as well! 

This event is largely made possible by donations from organizations such as yours! Thank you for considering a donation to The Mane Event.
