Our annual auction is the biggest fundraiser for the Capitol Hill PTA. It has historically raised about $30k for the PTA which goes to directly support teachers & students.
This year, we've yet to secure Auction Lead(s) & Donation Lead to support this event moving forward. (While the event is in Spring, we need to get planning ASAP).
We have volunteers in place for many supporting roles, but cannot move forward unless we have these key leads for this event.
What's involved in these roles?
✏️ Auction Lead(s): High level person(s) in charge of overseeing and guiding the event. This does not mean you have to "do it all". You are in charge of planning of the event at a high level and helping guide volunteers (which our volunteer coordinators help find!) who all come together to put on this event. You can organize an in-person event or organize an online silent auction.
📦 Donation Lead: Can be done any hour of the day and is almost 100% email. Entails reaching out to a set list of businesses to request donations and organizing/tracking what donations we receive on a spreadsheet and in an easy-to-use database.
Please contact Tabitha Ames and Jean-Francois Ortiz at volunteer@capitolhillelementary.com if you'd like to learn more about any auction roles or other ways you may be able to help.
