Donations

Donations of any type are welcome for the silent and live auction portion of the event: Sporting event tickets, electronics, professional services, gift cards for local restaurants and businesses, vacation homes, airline and hotel points, theme gift baskets, even cash that can be used to purchase a special item for the silent auction. All items can be dropped off at the school office.

Silent Auction

The party will commence during the cocktail reception hour with our beloved Silent Auction. In the Silent Auction you will find everything from specialty baskets to fun, unique and affordable items. To ensure a successful Silent Auction, our solicitation team has been busy asking local businesses to donate items, but we also need the help of our OLA community. We hope you will consider supporting the event by making a donation. Below are some items we are looking for:

• Sports memorabilia
• Specialty kitchen appliances (coffee maker, ice-cream maker, margarita machine)
• Electronic devices
• Gift certificates to restaurants, stores, spas, or hotels (Costco & Sam's Club offers gifts cards below retail price)
• Professional services (health, fitness, legal, beauty, home)
• Get your friends together and create a fun basket for adults or kids
• Premium alcohol & accessories basket
• Lego basket
• Cash! Your cash gift will be used to purchase a special item for the Silent Auction and you will belisted as a donor of that item.

Do you have a special connection to a business that would be willing to make a donation? If so, please contact our solicitation chairs: Johann Rubia-Miller and

Kristen McQuary at jrubiamiller@gmail.com or Kristen_peeler@yahoo.com to help you through the process.
