Dear Community Supporter!

We are writing to ask for your support for the annual St. Nicholas School Auction planned for Saturday, April 24, 2021.  This year, due to the pandemic, we are holding our auction virtually. 

Saint Nicholas School is a Catholic elementary school serving 250 children of Los Altos and the surrounding communities from transitional-kindergarten through eighth grade. Saint Nicholas is committed to educating children to achieve their full potential academically, spiritually, physically, and socially. 

Your donation will help St. Nicholas achieve the financial goals necessary to continue our tradition of academic excellence and community leadership. The proceeds of our last auction provided important upgrades to our junior high and additional resources for our music, art, and enrichment programs. We were able to replace our old 1960’s single pane windows and doors, install fans and paint the junior high! Such a huge success! This year’s auction proceeds will again provide resources for transformation; we are planning similar upgrades to our elementary school as well as much needed classroom materials.

How does your business benefit from supporting St. Nicholas School?

●      Targeted marketing. A donation to our auction is a wonderful way to promote your business to the large community of St. Nicholas school families, and to the parishioners of St. Nicholas and St. William. You will receive mention in our auction catalog and at the event, and depending on donation volume, be featured with ad placement or scrolling signage at the event.

●      Community momentum for your business. St. Nicholas School families and parishioners actively patronize and support auction donors! We love to shop, eat, play and work in Los Altos, Mountain View, throughout the SF Bay Area and the surrounding area. We thankfully shop with our supporters.

●      All donations are tax deductible! Your organization gains key marketing and product placement with a group of interested, appreciative patrons essentially for free!
 
●       Utilize the tax-free nature of all donations/sponsorship/advertising to get the best return for your marketing dollars! (St. Nicholas School Tax ID# 94-2734503)
 
We are delighted to receive donations of merchandise, services, unique experiences, gift certificates, cash sponsorships, or advertising.[1]

Please mail your donation directly to St. Nicholas School (12816 El Monte Road, Los Altos, CA 94022, attn.: Auction Donations) or access our Auction Website and select “Item Donation!” to submit your item information. Our team can reach out to gather your donation - many thanks!

We request that all donations are made by March 22, 2021. Should you have any questions about the auction, please email us directly.

Thank you for your consideration and generosity.
