Otter Creek Child Center and College Street Children’s Center are joining forces to support the 2023 Spring Online Auction.   Located in Middlebury, Vermont, Otter Creek and College Street have over 50 years of experience providing high quality early care and education to the larger community.  Otter Creek Child Center and College Children’s Center are both NAEYC-accredited, non-profit early childhood education programs.  We are excited to bring back our annual Spring Auction!  The Spring Auction is our largest fundraiser of the year.  We rely on the generous contributions of Vermont and national businesses, parent volunteers, and residents to help make this event a success.  We are holding our online auction from Wednesday, May 31, 2023 through Friday, June 9, 2023 on https://go.rallyup.com/springauctionoccc-cscc.

Starting as early as March, we will begin promoting the Spring Auction to our supporters.  This online auction enables us to provide donors like you with a valuable platform for visibility.  You will be featured on the auction home page, in weekly e-mail alerts, on the Otter Creek Child Center Facebook page, and in the online catalog where we can include a logo, item image, and a link to your website.  Being featured will bring publicity to you, your company and your product.

Please consider donating an item or service that we can put up for bid.  We are contacting select businesses like yours about this worthwhile chance to support high quality early care and learning programs by donating what you can while at the same time promoting your business to a target audience of nearly 200 local Vermont supporters, but also to the Rallyup.com community.  Items that do well in the auction include gift certificates, merchandise, and specialty items. Your support is very important and will allow us to continue are mission in supporting young children and families in achieving their goals by providing high quality early care and education.

A committee member will follow up with you within the next few weeks regarding your donation.  If you have any questions, you may contact the auction committee at otterromp@ottercreekcc.org.   Enclosed, please find a donation sheet.  Please respond by May 19th to guarantee a spot in the auction.

Thank you for your consideration and kindness.

Sincerely,

Auction Committee
