Silent Auction Fundraising Volunteers Needed
Calling all volunteers to join our Parent Social Silent Auction fundraising team! Calling all volunteers to join our Parent Social Silent Auction fundraising team! Every year our Alcott Parent Social includes a fun silent auction full of diverse and exciting items to bid on. We are assembling a team to help with: reaching out to potential donors, managing the auction website, and preparing the items for presentation. No fundraising experience required. If time commitment is an issue, no problem! We are also accepting donations—if you have an item to donate or can connect us with someone who does, please reach out to us at alcottptgfundraising@gmail.com. This is a fun way to get involved with an event that gives back significantly to our community. We look forward to hearing from you!
