Fun Fact: 9% of St. John’s operating budget comes from fundraising…that’s a lot! What is the operating budget? Teacher salaries, books, equipment, building upkeep, you name it, and it’s probably in the operating budget. When you consider making a donation, sponsoring, or bidding at the auction, know that our students, teachers, staff, and buildings will all benefit from your generosity! We have a lot to be grateful for. Thank you for showing your love for St. John by participating in the auction, our school’s largest fundraiser!
Thank you to everyone who has already turned in their procurement forms or donated online. Over 50% of St. John families have donated to the auction thus far, but where we’re going, we need 100% participation! It’s now easier than ever using our new online donation form. Please see below for ideas on how to meet your $250 auction donation commitment:
- 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.
- 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!
Please complete your online form by tomorrow, Friday, February 11 and turn in your items to the School Office or the Parish Admin Building.
