What items should I get?
AFKS is all about art, but its also more than just ART.Here are some ideas:
- Art: photographs, paintings, jewelry, ceramics, sculpture, etc.
- Art experiences: a private walk through MOMA, a private tour with an artist, chef, performer, a private concert, etc.
- Gift certificates for dinner, lunches & brunches
- Hotels, Bed & Breakfast Inns, vacation homes, getaways
- Limousine, airplane, train, and balloon rides
- Tours and trips: skiing, whale watching, sailing, oceanic expeditions, etc.
- Gift certificates for clothing stores, flowers, toy stores, housewares, etc.
- Wine, gourmet baskets, chocolates, truffles
- Group dinners, activities. Try putting things together in your neighborhood like a lunch and movie on Sacramento Street, a museum tour at MOMA ending with a spa treatment at Bliss, dinner and shopping on Union Street, etc.
Who should I ask?
(Auction solicitation letters and donation forms available at PHS lobby and for download.)Start with your favorite local businesses. When you’re out dining, shopping, or taking a class, ask merchants if they can donate. When you’re visiting your dentist, auto garage, etc. ask if they would like to run an ad in the auction catalogue.
How do I ask?
Introduce yourself as a parent at PHS. Keep it short and sweet. Ask if they can support the auction by donating (certificate, services, etc.). Explain that donors get premium placement in our auction catalogue and are bid on by over 200 attendees. Add that their support will help us reach our goal of increasing our financial assistance program by 30%. Donations are tax deductible.Where do I take completed donor forms and donated auction items?
Please bring them to the auction drop-off box at the Art for Kids’ Sake Auction Table in the PHS lobby. For larger and fragile items, please leave them with Martin Gross or Namrata Gupta.If you have any questions or suggestions, please contact:
