New this year! Companies and individual business owners who are interested in supporting St. Christopher School's annual Auction are invited to consider either becoming an Auction Sponsor OR advertising in our Auction Program! Both provide excellent opportunities for corporate, business, or individual exposure within our extensive St. Chris community.

Sponsorships range from $250 to $2,500 and offer a broad range of marketing advantages, including website links, school newsletter and lobby board publicity, and promotional materials, as well as extensive opportunities to promote your business at the Auction itself. In addition, each sponsorship includes tickets to the event, with some packages providing reserved tables and seating!

Prices for advertising in the Auction program range from $30 for an 1/8 page ad to $250 for a full page ad on the back cover.

Additional information, including specific sponsorship benefits, and a sponsorship/advertising contract are available for download HERE .

I have an item that I would like to donate to the Auction. How do I do that?

First of all, thank you! The success of our Auction is entirely dependent on the generosity of donors such as yourself and our wonderful bidders. To donate an item, please see the "Item Donation Form", located HERE. You can either fill it our online and print it or download the file to complete. fAttach the form to your item and send it in to Marta at school. If your item is something less "tangible", like time at a vacation home or a specialty dinner, simply download the form, complete it, and send it in to Marta. For these kinds of items, any supporting material you can send along is helpful, like brochures, posters, photos, etc. The more we can show about an item, the more successful it will be!

I know a local business who would like to donate. What should I do?

Thanks for making the contact with this business! Much like the personal donations described above, you can download the "Item Donation Form" located HERE and take it to them to complete. Please be sure they give as much information on the form as possible, including the item value. Legally, we can not determine the value of the item -- this must come from the donor! If the business requires additional documentation, like a request letter or our nonprofit IRS tax ID number, please download the "Donation Request Letter" located HERE . Finally, be sure to thank the business for their kind donation (we will also send a letter of thanks) and bring the Donation Form and the item to Marta at the school.

I see that the Auction invitation said that all proceeds go to Financial Aid programs at St. Chris. My family does not receive financial aid. Does this mean that my donation and/or purchase at the Auction will not go to my child's education?

All children benefit from the proceeds of the Auction. The true cost of a St. Christopher K-6 education is $4,725, while our tuition is currently $4,370. Fundraising efforts like the Auction allow the school to provide behind-the-scenes financial aid to ALL families by lowering the tuition cost by $475. Your donation and/or purchase at the Auction helps us to help you!

Does the ticket price of $50 provide any profit to St. Chris?

Unfortunately, putting on an event of this kind is expensive. Much like a wedding, we must pay for the use of the hotel and for the food. The $50 ticket price covers this cost...and guarantees a great meal in a super atmosphere with wonderful friends!
