Dear Parents, Grandparents, and Friends of Playgroup,

Let me cut to the chase - revenue from tuition alone does not cover the full experience that we know and love about Playgroup.

Our beloved preschool counts on additional fundraising to make up the difference - whether it's for art supplies, special one-off experiences, new equipment, clean sand, or extra playdough when the last batch dries out.

This year, our theme is Happy Hearts. That means funds raised from the 2023 auction will go toward making memories for our kids that fill up their hearts, create joy on their faces, and make lifelong friendships.

As we say, Happy Hearts lead to Great Starts.

And that's why we chose Playgroup.

Auction item donation strategy:

We want to help make donating auction items joyful and stress-free. Contact us if you'd like support in soliciting items. We can come up with a strategy that works.

Each family is responsible for donating $750 in items to our auction.

If you do not want help soliciting and you were thinking of paying full-price for your items, please instead consider donating $750.00 via GoFundMe. That way, Playgroup receives more of the impact from your donation.

Grandparents:

We love our grammies, g-pops, nanas, nonnas, papas, bubbes, gigis, gamgams, morfars, and popos!

Many of you have expressed interest in supporting Playgroup with a monetary donation, and this is the place to do it. Your donation is tax-deductible.

We appreciate all you do for Playgroup and for making this special donation from your heart.

Thank you!

Cheers,

Your '23 Auction Committee
