Have you heard the news?
Stetsons & Stilettos is the talk of the town! This highly successful event is coming back to benefit Stanley Elementary!
Stanley Elementary PTA is currently planning their 3rd Annual Stetsons & Stilettos Auction! This event serves as THE main fundraiser for your Stanley Elementary PTA. Over the past two years, Stetsons & Stilettos has raised almost $80,000 for our school!! The money raised has paid for the playground our children use everyday at school and much of the SMART technology that our children interact with daily! It’s hard to imagine what our children’s school experience would be like without a playground and technology so we hope to raise more than $50,000 this year to bring in even more technology for our rapidly growing school!
The work that goes in to planning Stetsons & Stilettos is extensive as the PTA relies heavily on donations to maximize the $$ raised for Stanley Elementary.
So you ask: What can I do to help make Stetsons & Stilettos a huge success??
Glad you asked!
The PTA is in need of the following items for Stetsons & Stilettos:
· Donations for the silent & live auction
o Do you have any new unused items in your home that you think someone else would love to have or do you have a professional skill that someone could utilize (i.e. photography, massage therapy, painting, carpentry, interior decorating, landscape design, etc.)
o Do you own a timeshare or vacation home that someone would like to visit for a long weekend?
o Do you have friends that own a business that might want to donate something to the auction?
o Do you have tons of airline miles that could be used to purchase airline tickets to be packaged with vacation destinations?
o The list can go on and on. If you have something that you think can be auctioned and would like to offer it, please go to http://www.stanley-pta.org/ and download the Donor Letter and Form.
