Dear PS 34 Parents, Family, Teachers and Staff,

WE NEED YOUR HELP! We are looking for items for our Winter Auction, which will run from Friday, December 2nd, 2022 through Sunday, December 11th, 2022. The Winter Auction is an incredible way to support our school while also connecting with and publicizing local businesses - a win-win for the community and our students!

We would gratefully accept any donations from the following categories:

● Kids and Family

● Restaurants and Bars

● Experiences and Getaways

● Art and Design

● Fashion and Home

● Tickets and Events

● Health and Beauty

● Hotels and Travel

All donors receive exposure to the over 400 families in our school community. PS 34 families love to patronize businesses that support us! We feature your logo and the link to your website on our Auction website, which is also shared with thousands of North Brooklyn families through various social media channels. The P.S. 34 Oliver H. Perry PTA, Inc. is a 501c3 tax-exempt organization and all contributions are tax deductible to the extent permitted under the law.

Don’t have a small business and still want to get involved? The Fundraising Committee would love your support! To make this a successful event, we solicit donations from hundreds of local organizations. We’d love your voice and time in helping solicit local businesses that you frequent or are in your part of the neighborhood. No donation is too small! To get involved, please reach out to fundraising@ps34pta.org.

Please find more information about donating to our Winter Auction on our website: https://www.ps34pta.org/winter-2022-silent-auction-1. We have also attached the Donation Form to this letter, which can be returned in your child’s folder if that is more convenient.

On behalf of our kids, parents, teachers and administration, thank you in advance for your continued generosity.

With gratitude,

Your PS 34 PTA Executive Board & The Winter Auction Planning Committee
