@ Kristen I did get an email with a confirmation they would donate within a week of me sending my donation request email.

To those who received Stampin Up! donations...did they respond to your letter/email or just send a box of scrapbooking supplies.

I have gotten some incredible donations from places listed on here. I have been fortunate to get a lot of local places to donate such as zoo, museums, amusement parks etc. Unfortunately all the local non chain restaurants, spas and specialty stores have said no. I thought for sure those would be the ones to support us but we haven't had any luck with them. Thank you all for the suggestions, I'm not sure where I would be without them!

Our auction is 11 days away so we may well get in more donations but here is a bit of what we have. Oh, we are an Episcopal Pre School and Kindergarten.

Below are the ones l got just from filling out online request forms or emailing directly.

Redbox - 25 movies
American Girl - Saige, doll of the year & book
Disney - 4 Park Hopper Passes
Stampin Up - the box worth $300
Fundraising Rides - 2 person and 4 person hot air balloon rides (not totally sure if we will use it or not)
Elite Island Resorts - will probably use with lots of print about it ahead of time

From asking personally

Target - $100 gift card
Smoothie King - 2 $25 gift cards
Elements Massage - 1 massage
Kindermusik - 3 classes
Creative Memories - local rep.
Pampered Chef - local rep.
Origami Owl - local rep.
Chuy's Mexican Restaurant - gift basket including dinner for 2
Double Dave's Pizza

Local companies include:

Also luck with parents and friends of parents who "on the side"
Decorate cakes
Make other craft items (nice ones, like on etsy, etc.)
Have a landscaping business to give consults (pairing it with a nursery for plants)
Holiday Decorating
Someone who owns a beach house about 3 or 3-1/2 hrs. away

Have 2 family members who have season tickets to professional sports teams located 1 - 1-1/2 hrs. away (none in our smallish city). They donated tickets to a game, 1 basketball, 1 football.
We are a "college town" so have some college sports related items that are being donated.
Signed books by local children's book authors (I googled it to find them, then contacted them via their websites or email).

Hope some of these ideas help!
