West Freehold School PTO's 16th Annual Gift Auction
Other Event Type for West Freehold School PTOMar 13, 2020 6:00 PM to Mar 14, 2020 12:30 AM
Our mission is to supplement our school budget to provide our children the necessary tools to be prepared for the next phase of their lives. We work with the teachers and administrators of our school to create 21st Century classrooms, focusing on technology. We also use our funds to fill in the gaps where our school budget does not.
An annual gift auction with over 300 baskets featuring different donated gift cards, items and prizes from other vendors such as Disney, Uggs, Under Armour, Nike, Kate Spade, Tory Burch, Michael Kors, Nikon, etc. Over 350 guests will try to win these items via raffle with all proceeds going directly back to our school, a K-5 elementary school with vvalue-based emphasis on technology, health, learning and the arts.
The children of West Freehold School have a STEAM center (media center focusing on scinece, technology, engineering, art and music) that was designed and never finished as we did not have the funds. Our gift auction is the biggest fundraiser of the year but we are constantly losing sponsors and donators as more schools, clubs, teams and organizations in the area are holding their own auctions and fundraisers and asking for donations. Competition is fierce, as we understand you probably see on a national level as well, and therefore, we have to really work hard to be recognized and try to seek outside donations. We think if we can have the "best of the best" auction, with the most attendees, we can really make an excellent profit and finally finish our STEAM center. Having wonderful swag bags and awesome gifts at our auction will accomplish that! We thank you for your consideration.
