Auction Items Needed...
CFF is still approximately $100,000 short from meeting our fundraising goal. To close the gap, we will hold our Annual Spring Auction online the last week of April. However, we need your help!
Are you a yoga instructor who can teach a yoga class or a great baker who would have fun teaching our students how to bake a cake (all online, of course!)? Are you up for hosting a fun, adult only murder mystery zoom party for some other CMCS families? Do you own or manage a business and can donate your product or services? Maybe you have connections to people/businesses who might be willing to donate to our auction These are just a few examples of things that you can do to ensure that we have a successful fundraiser.
Please reach out to the Auction Committee at auction@welovecmcs.org with your donation ideas. We’d love to create a donation item centered around your skill/talent/business/Interests. If you don’t have anything to contribute to the auction, but would like to help, please contact us ASAP! There is still tons to do, and we can use all the help we can get.
Most of us chose to send our children to CMCS because of the wonderful programs our school offers our students. Let’s make this final push TOGETHER to keep these programs at our school. Our children are counting on us! Thank you, wonderful community families!
Best,
Kate Harrington and Karika Thompson
Co-Chairs, Auction Committee
