Dear Friend of St. Theresa School, Preparations for the St. Theresa School PTO’s annual Auction are underway. This exciting fundraiser is to be held on Saturday, March 1, 2014 at The National Conference Center (18980 Upper Belmont Place, Leesburg, VA 20176). Our 2013 auction was a success due to the many generous donations from local and out-‐of-‐town businesses and patrons. The generosity of businesses and patrons in years past has helped us excel the level of a U.S. Department of Education 2010 Blue Ribbon Award recipient. Only 8 Virginia schools received this prestigious award. The Blue Ribbon Award recognizes those schools that are committed to ensuring all students, regardless of background or ability, receive the quality education they deserve. With this year’s theme Around the World, we look forward to another successful auction. Proceeds from the Auction will help to fund the Technology Department that will benefit students from every grade, also it will help fund educational programs, including our mathematics and science program and support the children’s daily environment by providing technological advances, art and physical education materials, as well as continuous education for our teachers. We are asking for your support in helping us achieve our goal by donating auction items in form of prizes, services, gift certificates, event tickets or cash. Another donation opportunity is the availability of advertising space in our auction catalog and school website. Many sizes are available; please see the attached Program Advertising Agreement for more information. As an Auction Donor you will receive: • Display of your promotional materials during the auction along with your donated item(s). Please send them with your donation (business cards, brochures, etc) • Multiple recognitions on the school auction newsletters and auction catalog. Email logo (jpg file). • Logo display in our Facebook page: St. Theresa School is a 501(c)3 organization, and as so, your donations may be tax deductible. We realize that many requests are made of you each year, and we sincerely appreciate your willingness to assist us in providing a quality education to the hundreds of children of different backgrounds and abilities who attend St. Theresa School.
