On Feb. 23 Enchantment will be back by
popular demand - this time with an Hawaiian flare. The evening will
include a silent auction, food, drink, music, a raffle for West Jet tickets,
and a live auction of selected items.
WE NEED YOUR HELP to pull together an awesome auction!
Experience tells us that if you know the person you are asking, getting amazing
donations is much easier. And, experience also tells us if we have 400
people asking for one donation each, we can put together some pretty incredible
live and silent auction packages.
You may
think you don't know anyone worth asking, or that its hard. But many places
will want to give you a donation, especially if it is a place that you are
connected to, or a place that would like to advertise to Earl Beatty
parents.
Here are a few ideas to help you get started:
- Do you work for a telecommunications company, a
bank or other large corporation with a corporate box or seasons
tickets?
- Do you know a lawyer who can provide a wills and
estate planning package?
- Will your gym or yoga studio donate a membership
or package of visits?
- Do you work at one of the local attractions?
Science Centre, ROM, Harbourfront?
- Will your favorite restaurant donate a dinner for
two?
- Do you know wine makers or distributors, butchers,
chefs?
- Do you have connections to the entertainment,
music, or film industry?
Thanks so
much for your help and hope to see you all again this year!
Attached is a poster for the event as well as letter you can use to make a more formal request for
donations if required.
