We are writing to ask you to support the children of Thornhill Elementary School. We are a nationally recognized top-performing Oakland public school with about 400 students. Our parents and educators share a common purpose of ensuring the best education for our children. 

On March 26, 2022, we will hold our 36th Annual Benefit Dinner and Auction at Block15 in Jack London Square in Oakland. This event features silent and live auctions and generates over half of our Parent-Faculty Club’s annual operating budget. Our non profit 501(c)(3) Parent-Faculty Club raises money to maintain or supplement essential programs like music, library, and teacher’s aides: essential support especially poignant during the pandemic. 

We cannot accomplish this without the support of community-minded businesses like yours!

As we plan for our 2022 Benefit Auction with hopes of prosperity, we humbly request your support. We would be grateful to receive a donation from your business/organization to support our efforts this year. Anything you can provide would be sincerely appreciated! We know the last two years were tough for our community, so we are gracious for any donations. Donations are tax deductible. 

Every donor is acknowledged on our website and/or on our Instagram account (@ThornhillPFC). 

More detailed information about Thornhill Elementary School and our Parent-Faculty Club can be found at www.thornhillschool.org. If you have questions or want to learn more about the 2022 Annual Benefit Auction please contact us directly at benefit@thornhillschool.org. 

If you can donate, please either email us or click here to complete the online form. We kindly ask that your donation promise be received by Friday, March 4, 2022 in order to promote it extensively in advance of our event. 

Thank you in advance for your generosity. We hope you will help us ensure equality in education by bridging the gap left by the pandemic. Please contact us if you have any questions. 

Sincerely, 

Lauren Lockwood
