This year we are hoping to involve all departments, activities, clubs and teams at Blue Valley Northwest. Any items your Department, Activity, Club or Team (DACT) brings to the silent auction, your DACT gets to keep 50% of the money raised by that item!

Parent Liaisons have been identified for each DACT wanting to take advantage of earning money for their activity, however more parent liaisons are needed to make our fundraiser a success. To see which DACT is in need of a parent liaison or to check out the list, go to the Organization Contact List below.

FORMS TO HELP YOU SOLICIT DONATIONS

2011 Fundraiser Letter

2011 Item Submission Form

The Fundraiser Letter introduces this event to any contact person or vendor who might want to donate an item to our auction, and includes the Booster Club's tax-exempt ID number many businesses require.

The Item Submission Form will be filled out and handed in to the auction committee to insure the proper organization receives the funds and the donor receives a thank you note. The information provided will produce the bid sheet for the auction and the donor's name will be listed in the program (for all donations received through October 22, 2010.) Please review this form with the donor for accuracy. If a business needs a receipt, a copy of this form, which includes the Tax ID number, should suffice.
