St. John School is going Back to the Future for it's 37th annual auction on Friday, April 8, 2002 at Fremont Studios. We need your help to make our largest fundraiser a successful event! Our fundraising goal this year is to raise $350,000. All auction proceeds go directly to the St. John School operating budget. We ask that all St. John families play a role through donating and procuring items, volunteering your time, and attending the gala event. Read on for important details on procurement, wish list items, FAQ's and an infographic to help you determine your donation style. Contact Karen and Andrea with questions at fundraising@st-johnschool.org.
Procurement is the acquisition of goods and/or services for auctioning off online or at the live event. In order to reach our fundraising goal, we encourage all families to honor their tuition contract of $250 for donating or procuring items for the auction.
There are many ways to contribute to the auction! You can purchase, procure, underwrite, and/or donate. What is your donation style? Take a look at the procurement infographic to help you get started.
