Description

I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing on behalf of Oakridge Private School, a non-profit, independent institution with an academic standing in the top 10% nationally. With over 215 students enrolled, we pride ourselves on fostering a close-knit, nurturing environment that supports the academic, social, and emotional growth of each child.

At Oakridge, we believe in the power of community—where every smile on our students' faces is a reflection of the love and care they receive both in and out of the classroom. Each year, we host our Annual Auction to raise crucial funds that directly support our programs, enhance the educational experience, and continue to improve the school facilities.

Last year, thanks to the generosity of donors like you, we raised over $80,000, which funded significant upgrades, including renovations to the exterior of our school and the continuation of our scholarship program, which is a vital resource that currently supports 30% of our students. This year, our goal is to raise $75,000, and we would be honored to have you be part of this exciting effort.

The Funds Raised This Year Will Help Us:
• Purchase new computers for our computer lab, which has not been updated in nearly 10 years.
• Continue to strengthen our scholarship program, ensuring we can provide access to education for families in need.

We are reaching out to ask for your support in the form of a donation—whether it be an experience, item, or gift card/certificate—that can be featured in our silent or live auction. As a donor, you will be prominently recognized in the following ways:
• Inclusion in our Auction Brochure: Your business will be featured as a valued partner in our event.
• Website Recognition: We will showcase your contribution on our “Donations” page.
• Event Presentation: Your donation will be highlighted in our PowerPoint presentation during the Auction, ensuring visibility to all our attendees, including families, students, and guests.

Your contribution will have a direct and lasting impact on our students' academic success, helping us to provide the best possible educational experience. We truly believe that with your support, we can continue to empower the next generation of learners.
Thank you for considering this opportunity to partner with Oakridge Private School. We are excited about the potential of this year’s Auction and hope you will join us in making it a resounding success.
