Raffle Baskets and Silent Auction Donations
Have you experienced the excitement of walking down Main Street past the amazing baskets and the unique Silent Auction items, crossing your fingers for what you might win?! Raffle Baskets and Silent Auction items are an important part of this fundraiser. Donations are needed to help make this event a great success! There are a variety of ways to donate, please consider the following:
- Would your family be willing to sponsor a basket for $100, $200, $300, or any amount, and our Jazz ‘n Cakes team will do the shopping for you, assemble the basket, and put your name on it?
- Every student is asked to donate a $5 or $10 gift card/item for the basket raffles. An equivalent donation with cash or check is also fine. Directors will collect donations through Friday, March 18th. Please send all donations BEFORE spring break! Follow the themes in the graphic to help ensure variety!
A couple of other EASY ways to donate:
- Are you part of a monthly subscription club- ie wine of the month, bourbon tasting, etc? Does your family or company have season tickets to a sporting event, theater event, etc? Would you consider donating an item or two?
- Do you have a Christmas or Birthday gift that never got returned and is now collecting dust that would make a great basket item?
- Does your child work at a local business that might donate a gift card?
Ready to donate? Email market@lakotawestbands.org to arrange pick up, bring donations to the concerts Monday or Tuesday night, or drop them off in the band room at Main or Freshman!
