I help out at my local non-profit organization and we do silent auctions annually.
Here is a few companies we get donations from:
Wal-mart should of given you a gift card (Free)-they are big on donating in my area.
We submitted a donation letter to the manager and got a $50-$100 gift card
Target donates a $50.00 gift cards
Stingrays hockey
Carolina panthers-just put in the search -Carolina panthers donation request and fill out form
AMC-donates movie tickets
local celebrities
Basicly the internet is a great tool. Anything that you are looking for just add donation request to the end of it. Research
Hello, I am new to this site and to the PTA/PTO world. I am organizing my first chinese auction to take place this fall. I would love to receive a copy of this letter that everyone is talking about. So I can send out letters to local companies. Also any ideas from anyone would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Dear Supporter,
School has started and we'd love your support! The Flanagan Parent-Teacher Club plans to hold a special fundraising event from mid-October to mid-November.
Market Day is offering Special Bonus Days
in which our school can earn 20%-40% profits on all pies based on the number of pies sold. We would like to hold a pie selling contest and
reward the highest selling student from each class with prizes.
Flanagan Parent-Teacher Club is a nonprofit, volunteer organization dedicated to helping students in our community. Your donation would allow us to better serve the education needs of all students at Flanagan Grade School and
Flanagan High School.
Our contributions include the purchase of playground equipment, the offer to sponsor students to computer camp, purchasing
educational supplies for teachers, and much more.
Your generosity would be acknowledged on signs promoting the event, and inclusion in our school newsletter. Donations to Flanagan Parent-Teacher Club may be tax-deductible, and a letter acknowledging your gift will be sent for your tax purposes.
Flanagan Parent-Teacher Club is working hard to make the lives of children better, and we hope you'll join our efforts.
I would love a copy of the doantion letter when you get a chance. Please send to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
