PTO Today

We are still looking for Auction Donations so bumping up to see if there are any additional leads or ideas.

Looks like my last post doesnt show up correctly...

Thanks to all of those who have posted national companies who worked for them!! So far, I have got back YES from the following:

Disney
I filled out the form last night and this morning I had an approval. They are sending 4 one-day park hopper passes valued at $524.

Keurig
Filled this one out last night as well and had an approval this morning after I filled out an application they sent me. They are sending me a Platinum Keurig valued at $169 and a case of coffee valued at $55. The link above gets you to their home page. From there, go to Company > Contacts > Promotional Requests for...Nonprofits > click the link to fill out their inquiry form.

Can some of you tell me what your success has been for raising so much money on the auctions. In 2010 we will be having our 2nd Mardi Gra Gala and at this event we offer food, drink, silent and live auction as well as gambling. This past Feb was our first event and we had tons of donations, I believe we ended up with about 80 silent auction items that ranged from $10 - $300 in value. However our total take on the silent auction was 7744.35 which we had hoped for more. Does anyone have some tips to throw my way that may help us increase that number for this next year?

Tonya- That sounds like it would be a great return for our school! Mind sharing some of your donation successes??
