Oxford Elementary 2023 Otterpalooza - Raffle and Auction. This event is one of the biggest fundraisers for Oxford Elementary and with generous contributions from businesses like yours, we are able to fund and support some very vital programs and school positions. Our current annual PTA budget is an ambitious $140,000, and includes support for art and PE, technology, instructional materials, instructional aides and assorted extracurricular acativities. 

Oxford Elementary School opened its doors in 1910. The school is one of the smallest of the Berkeley public schools, with approximately 310 K-5th grade students. Our students are a vibrant group of learners from diverse backgrounds, who come from all over Berkeley. More than a third of our students come from low-income households. The school relies heavily on parent volunteers and their contributions, outside grants, and fundraising events. 

Would you please consider donating a gift certificate, gift item, ticket or your services as a prize? Sponsorship opportunities are also available. Your contribution is 100% tax-deductible to the extent allowable by law and your business will be acknowledged in our event program and prominently displayed with your donated item. We realize you have many financial obligations and other requests, we are thus particularly grateful for your generosity that enables us to maintain our school’s programs and services. 

Auction items will be available for bids online on April 28th - May 19th 2020 culminating in our Otterpalooza event on May 20th. We’d appreciate hearing from you by April 15.
