Auction News

St. John School Auction, presented by Fremont Dock Co.

Happy 2022! Here’s a fun fact to start the year: The “Back to the Future” script was rejected more than 40 times because it was thought to be too sweet, too nice, and that time travel movies don’t make money. – mentalfloss.com

Procurement

Thank you to all who have submitted their auction donations and items.  With just over 3 months before the big day, we need everyone’s help to make Back to the Future 2022 a success! Here are some ideas to get you started: 

  • Procure – A great way to meet your $250 auction donation is to procure items from your favorite businesses.  Many businesses are happy to donate items or services to our school!  Download a Donation Request Letter on our auction information page and submit it to your desired business.  
  • Class Auction Package – Donate or procure an item or cash toward your Class Auction Package.  Each class procures items and/or pools together funds to create an amazing auction item.  
  • Donate  – Do you own or have access to a vacation property, food truck, boat, plane, or sporting event tickets and can donate use of these items to the auction?  Set a date and write up a description on our online donation form.  
  • Wine Grab – While you are out wine shopping, please consider purchasing a nice bottle of wine to donate to our Wine Grab game. Complete the online Wine Grab form and then turn in your wine to the School Office or Administration Building.  
  • Monetary Donation – Visit our Cash Donation page to make a donation.  
  • Gift Card Donation – What is your favorite Seattle business? Gift cards are popular auction items! 

NEW this year…we are using an online platform for auction donations.  Instead of turning in a paper procurement form, please complete the online form and then turn in your items to the School Office or the Parish Admin Building. 

Congratulations and thank you to Chris & Geeta McCormack, winners of our Procurement Incentive Drawing! 

Sponsorship

Sponsorship helps reduce our costs and allows more money raised to go directly toward the school’s operating budget.  Sponsors at every level are recognized on our auction website and in our weekly auction email blasts, which have an open rate of nearly 450 opens per week!  If you would like to become a sponsor or are interested in learning more, please visit our sponsorship page and complete the online agreement form by February 11.
