I am also helping organize a fundraiser for a battered women and children's shelter where the majority of these people had to flee very quickly from their physical and sexual abusers.. The shelter is in danger of being shut down because of lack of donations and funding, so I am heading the silent auction for this years annual 'bash'. Would you mind sending me a copy of your letter as well? I'm not sure if the content would match up, but it would be awesome to see it and get an idea of your approach.

My email is tylerhulka@ gmail

Thanks so much!

Hi Kellie, Al, Tyler,

Wanted to jump in and offer some resources. If you check out our File Exchange on this site, you will find many templates/documents that you can download for free and tailor to your school/organization for a silent auction.

File Exchange/Auctions: www.ptotoday.com/filesharing/category/10-auctions

Here are just a few examples:

Cover letter for soliciting donations: www.ptotoday.com/filesharing/document/10...ion-request-letter-1

Cover letter for soliciting advertisements: www.ptotoday.com/filesharing/document/454-ad-order-form-letter

Also, there are many documents for general silent auction management.

Good luck with the work you are doing!
