Mercury Mine’s Parent Teacher Group (PTG), is a collective group of parents and staff whose mission is to enhance the education and opportunities of all students at Mercury Mine by raising funds to support the school’s programs and services. We strive to promote communication, understanding, and cooperation among students, parents, faculty, and the community. Our goal is to promote a supportive and engaging community atmosphere. I am writing to request your support to provide enriching elementary school programs while helping you - the local businesses that make our community so attractive - thrive.

We are seeking in-kind donations such as gift cards, physical  items and experiences for our Spring Fling and Silent Auction at Mercury Mine Elementary School on Saturday, February 25, 2023. This event is one of our largest events and offers a unique opportunity to market your goods and services directly to an active group of local consumers. After a two year hiatus we are really looking forward to making this event special! We have activities including carnival games and bounce houses and rides for the children as well as a silent auction and class basket raffle for the adults. We anticipate 500+ individuals to attend this annual event, and have a fundraising goal of $10,000.

Donations for this event will be auctioned off with the winners receiving the product or service you provide.  In addition to marketing your products and services to local families, in-kind sponsors are recognized on our facebook page: Mercury Mine PTG, and Instagram: mercury_mine_ptg, our website: mercurymineptg.com, in all of the marketing materials used to promote the event, a chance to display banners, signs or displays (subject to approval) on site, and recognition by the emcee on the day of the event.

Family events, like the Spring Fling and Silent Auction, serve to bring our community together. All funds earned from the Spring Fling and Auction go directly to programs supported by the Mercury Mine PTG.  Specifically, PTG-supported programs and activities include teacher classroom expenses, STEM and library needs, as well as programs that supplement art and music curriculum, gardening program, author/artist in residence, and much, much more.  Sponsorships also help to offset event costs allowing more of the community to participate.  It’s a win/win for businesses and families alike.

Please note we are a nonprofit organization and all money earned goes back to the school and our programs. Our tax identification number is 86-0529372. If possible, we would like donations received by February 15, 2023 to allow time to prepare.  Thank you for your consideration in helping at our event!

Sincerely, 

Erin McDonald, Vice President
