Dear Parents:
One of the biggest fundraisers of the year is coming up soon – Pumpkin Pizzazz on October 18th. This event is free for all to attend, has lots of fun games and activities for the kids to participate in and helps us raise lots of funds for Harbordale Elementary. A huge part of that fundraising comes from the basket raffle, and we need your help!
Each grade level is asked to assemble basket(s) using your class theme. The baskets consist of individual donations from all of you. Pumpkin Pizzazz attendees will get to purchase raffle tickets for the opportunity to win these baskets valued at approximately $750 each.
Please help support your class basket by donating items!!! Some ideas are gift certificates (restaurants, Starbucks, arcades, spas, etc.), tickets to events (sporting events, movies, theater, bowling, etc.) or fun items for the baskets (board games, books, toys, bottles of wine, etc.). The more the merrier!
The themes for each grade are listed below. Your room parent will help collect items and record your class donations. Please note that once a basket gets to the $750 level, an overflow basket will be created and your class can have multiple baskets, or some items may be pulled for a silent auction.
The donation request letter is attached. Please share this letter with your friends, your employers, restaurants, spas and other businesses you frequent and ask for a donation to include in the basket(s). All donations are tax deductible, and we are a 501c3 non-profit organization. Please reach out to your room parent or class liaison if you have an item to donate.
Auction items due October 16th.
