Dear Donor/Sponsor,
The 16th Annual Silent Auction to benefit First Ev. Lutheran School, will begin on Saturday, February 25th, 2023 at 1:00pm and will conclude on Saturday, March 4th, 2023 at 1:00pm. It has been decided to conduct this year’s silent auction via the online platform that was utilized last year (32auctions.com). An in-person luncheon will also be held in the First Lutheran Church Fellowship Hall on Sunday, March 5th, 2023 following the 10:30am church service. During the luncheon, a few selected items will be included in a live auction as well. Further details will be finalized and communicated soon.

Thank you in advance for taking the time to consider making a donation to First Ev. Lutheran School’s 2023 Silent Auction and Luncheon. This event is organized by volunteers from the school’s parents, teachers and the FLS Flames Boosters, and is the school’s largest fundraiser. We are seeking your support as a donor and/or sponsor for the 2023 Silent Auction and Luncheon. The donation and/or sponsorship that you contribute will directly benefit First Ev. Lutheran School for our educational programs, to help keep tuition rates affordable, and to help with general school improvement projects and needs. Your contribution could represent hundreds of dollars in auction funds raised or advertising and/or supplies needed to put on the event.

We are now collecting donations for our 16th Annual Silent Auction and Luncheon. Therefore, we are asking area businesses and families to assist us through Silent Auction contributions (cash, gift certificates, and/or merchandise). If you choose to donate, your business/family name will be recognized with your donation on our website and the 32auctions website. Or, if you prefer to remain an anonymous contributor, let us know and we will honor your request. A tax receipt will be available upon request.
