Keep our fundraiser in mind 

The choir auction committee begins its work now in order to support our Fall Pop Concert Fundraiser and ensure the online auction's success when it goes live in September. In order for this fundraiser to be successful in supporting our students, we need (and count on!) help from every choir family!

Every item listed in our online auction is generously donated by a business, and those donations are solicited by choir families like you. If you have a personal relationship with a local business owner or have been successful in soliciting an auction item from a donor in the past, please keep our forms handy and start asking for donations now. 

The most sought-after auction items in the past have included:

Hotel stays... tickets to concerts, sporting events and musical theatre shows...restaurant gift cards...new electronics & technology items...unique experiences and classes...

There are two ways businesses may wish to support the choir program this fall:
