School Auction Blog

The 26th Annual Auction & Gala for St. Helena Sun and Stars Montessori was held 5 p.m. to 11 p.m. on Saturday, February 7th, 2009 at the historic Charles Krug Winery in St. Helena, California. Over $120,000 was raised for this great cause.

This year’s benefit “Saturday Night Fever” celebrates all things 70’s, including a rare, one of a kind wine lot from that storied decade. Attendees will enjoy fabulous food, great wines, and lots of disco dancing at this annual benefit to raise funds for the Montessori Family Center. Noted film, television and radio celebrity emcee Bob Sarlatte will preside over the festivities and Live Auction, which features one of wine country’s most amazing gathering of lots ever.

I am trying to fundraise for my local pre-school on Portland, their website is www.haylandspreschool.co.uk, they have tried things like cheese and wine evenings and such like to raise funds but they keep falling flat with attendance so nothing really comes of it.
So I am looking at helping them out with raising a few extra funds, I live (and the school is based on a small peninsula island of about 140,000 so it has to be as interesting as is possible to grab attention and get people to pay attention, I was thinking about a auction of promises but Im not too sure of what promises to get from people and stuff like that. I am a complete newbie to fundraising so need all the help i can get as Ive never done anything like this so I am starting from a plain drawing board really, I have got another mum to help me so I am open to all ideas. the location is Portland, Dorset in England in UK so plzz help. I want this event to be sooooo huuuuuuuge
thanks

U could perhaps organise a sponsored walk which at the same time would be good for people.

I need to secure donations for a high school auction. I am not sure how to word it. any ideas?

Let them know the charities you will help. Keep it short and to the point.

im in high school and my class wants to raise money to go on a trip to look at colleges. Does anybody have any ideas? so far we have woman less beauty pageant, spaghetti dinner, and and auction.

I like the woman-less beauty pageant idea. It’s a funny one and one that is actually already on the site I’m about to recommend.

I run you a small nonprofit and I’m often looking for small scale fundraising ideas. I now use http://www.CreativeFundraisingIdeas.com almost exclusively. The site has tons of great small scale, simple fundraising ideas. I hope this helps.

Good luck with your fundraising and the college application process!
