To Whom It May Concern,

Mary E. Stapleton Elementary School in Framingham, MA will be hosting an online charitable auction in March 2023 to benefit the students of our school. In the past businesses have donated gift cards, services, camp sessions, gift baskets, ect. to help our online auction be successful each year. Stapleton Elementary provides hands-on learning and social development to approximately 400 students in preparation for middle and high school.  At Stapleton Elementary School we recognize that each child is unique. We empower students to achieve their academic potential and develop their individuality.  We nurture the minds and spirits of our students in a safe, friendly and caring environment.   

Your donation will be part of our sixth annual online auction, which will run from March 20th through the 24th, 2023.  The funds raised from this event will enable the parent teacher organization (PTO) to provide much needed supplies and programs to the teachers and administrators at Stapleton.  The PTO also supplements costs of various school activities and events throughout the year. Stapleton Elementary School is a Title 1 school, which means we serve a high percentage of children that are from low-income families.

To thank your organization for participating, we will acknowledge your generous, tax deductible donation in the following ways: 

You will be thanked on the Stapleton PTO Facebook Page.
You will receive marketing of your donated items during the auction. 
You will be thanked in our monthly PTO newsletter that is sent to our 400 students, families, and staff. 

If you are willing and able to help us reach our $8,000 goal by making a donation to be used as part of the online fundraising auction, we would be greatly appreciative. Donations can be sent to the school at the address above or you can email us at StapletonAuction@gmail.com and we will pick up any items you would like to donate. Please contact us if you need more information or have any questions. 

Thank you, 

Leah Spagnuolo and Laura Rykard
