SFES 2010 AUCTION

Would you like to support the local school system? Would you be willing to donate something to help our schools?

The Suffield Foundation for Excellent Schools is actively seeking donations for their upcoming fundraising auction and would love to hear from you.

Whether you have tickets to a sporting event or works of art, antiques, autographed memorabilia or a free service to offer, we'd love to talk with you about what you might be able to provide.

Don't know what to donate? We'd be happy to help you think of something. The list of types of donations is as varied as our student population is. Let your creative juices flow! Some of the best auction items are unique experiences that cannot be duplicated, like a dinner for four hosted in your home or an 'insider's tour' of an interesting destination.

Check out this LIST of ideas to get some inspiration of your own!

It doesn't have to cost a lot of money-maybe you have airline miles or credit card "points" that you could donate, or a timeshare that you never end up using anyway! Offer to take someone bird watching or tutor someone in math or language arts. Maybe you know someone famous who would be willing to meet with an auction winner-the ideas are endless! Click here if you'd like to see what other items will be available for auction.

Why should you donate?

For the kids!

For fun!

To increase exposure for your business!

To clean out your house!

To give back to the community!

The Suffield Foundation for Excellent Schools is a private, volunteer non-profit organization established to enrich, enhance and support the quality of education in the Suffield Public Schools. Previous auctions have generated funds used for grants that enhanced the school’s computer labs, purchased equipment for the media center, added vital books to promote reading skills, and paid for desperately-needed headsets used in Foreign Language studies. For a more complete list of the $389,345 in grants that have been awarded since 2002 thanks to the generosity of people like you, click here!
