Donate to fill gift baskets for the Silent Auction
Each year we host several baskets to be bid on during the Silent Auction. If you can't attend the auction or just want to contribute in a small but mighty way, please consider shopping our Wish Lists.
Each basket has a theme: Tween Basket | Relaxing | Summer Essentials
What is a Wine Pull, you ask? For a set price, "pull" a bottle (or two!) of wine from our fabulous collection curated by our Wine Pull team. We will be selecting several Red, White and Rosé options but in order to do that, we need your help!
We have learned over the past couple of years that the weather around the time of the Auction plays a significant role in the type of wine that is desired by you fine folks. For instance, on a warmer day, we have sold out of our White and Rosé selections fast. Due to this (and one teensy problem: the fact that we cannot predict the weather so far in advance) we are asking for monetary donations to purchase some of these wines closer to the Auction date to successfully curate our collection for the evening.
To donate to the cause, you can Venmo Christie Vandyke at: @Christie-Vandyke-2 or email auctionwinepull@lfppta.org to make other arrangements or if you have questions. This is one of our most successful auction events and each year we exceed our expectations, so any help is greatly appreciated!
Last year this event raised almost $1000 for our school in about 30 minutes. With your help, we can beat that record this year!
Host a table at the auction!
Grab your squad! Get a group of other parents from your child’s classroom! Make friends at your bus stop! Invite them to join you at your hosted table! The opportunities for bonding as you dine and bid together on auction night are priceless.
What is the Dessert Dash? The LFP Auction includes a catered dinner, but it is tradition to invite local bakeries and hobby bakers to donate special occasion desserts. Desserts will be on display when doors open for guests to admire while they mingle and peruse auction items. During dinner, each table bids to be the first to choose a dessert from the spread. Once the bids are tallied, a representative from each table will race to pick out a delicious dessert to take back to share. It is quite a sight to behold, watching all the tables race for their sweet treats!! At the end of the evening, if we have more desserts than tables of guests, the extra desserts will be auctioned off in a live auction format.
Check out the available slots on our Signup Genius link and sign up to have a dessert donated by your favorite local bakery, trusty home baker, or bake the item yourself. Do you have a family recipe that always WOWs party guests? Have you watched Bake Squad, Cake War, and Is It Cake and can bake a masterpiece? Your dessert only needs to feed 8 people so now is the time to shine!
Is the social aspect of the auction out of your comfort level but you still want to meet people and attend? Volunteering is a great option! Maybe you don't drink but want to make the night amazing for guests and help raise money! Is the ticket price is a bit out of your range but you still want to attend? Volunteer for a time slot and you can have your cake and eat it, too (at the Dessert Dash!)!
The event can't happen without volunteers! Some volunteer roles are eligible to receive a gratis ticket for the event and other more behind the scene volunteer opportunities will receive many thanks and yummy catering options, stay tuned for day of volunteer information or email Leah at fundraising@lfppta.org if you'd like to know more right away. Signups Coming Soon!
