[QUOTE="Star*, post: 124627, member: 4964"] Solicit ALL businesses for gift certificates NO LESS than $20.00 and give them FREE advertising at the auction - ask for their business cards and tell them while you can't conduct a 'leads' group - a donation goes a LONG way to saying you are interested in the youth of today - and their education. Make one poster board and put the local businesses cards on their with a string to the words of what their donation is. If you get more - BIGGER ad at the school - maybe the bulletin board by the entrance to post cards and items for auction to draw attention to the auction - and a typed letter with all the items to pass out to all the kids to take home to their parents. As far as home made gifts - solicit businesses that MAKE stuff - Dont' forget tools and freebies /sample basket of mixed goodies And how about calling a radio station and asking them to donate DJing the event? Or DJing a kindergarten dance? Big Kahuna of prizes - a YMCA family membership. Also - board games - bicycles from local vendors, and when it's warmer - maybe all the kiddies have a car wash as one of the prizes - cute pictures. Ask a local photographer to take pictures of the kids with a "rented" cartoon character like Curious George or Clifford - Ask the police to offer having pictures taken in their squad car - it's a HUGE hit with little kids - and good safety idea. Also if they have a McGruff crime dog - he can come Firetrucks on a day like this are ALSO huge - and $2.00 donation to the school???? [/QUOTE]
