Dear Parents and Guardians,
Please save the date for the PTO’s biggest fundraiser of the year – Bigelow Big Night Online Auction 2021! The auction goes live beginning May 14, 2021 at 5 pm and will run through May 23, 2021 at 11:59 pm.
Funds raised from this event support many curriculum-enriching programs that are not covered by the public school budget, such as the Creative Arts and Sciences Program, field trip scholarships and special events, classroom supplies, advanced teacher training, the purchase of gym, performing arts and technology items, and more.
Once again, we will not be able to host our in person social event this year due to COVID-19. Typically, we raise a significant amount of money through ticket sales and sponsorships of our social gathering. Therefore, we will rely solely on our auction to raise funds for the PTO so we need your help more than ever!
Can you donate a gift certificate to your favorite restaurant, spa or hair salon? Or would you be willing to ask a local business for a donation? Do you have tickets to a sporting event or sports memorabilia? Do you have a vacation house getaway you can donate for a weekend or a week? Would you like to donate a wine basket, artwork, an Italian Dinner basket, Lottery Card Wreath, Game Night Basket?
Additionally, we are incorporating the theme of Ten Tables (canceled also this year due to the pandemic) into our auction. Our goal is to have 12-14 auction items that are each a three course dinner, for 4-6 people. This can be either prepared by you or purchased from a local restaurant, which is a great way to support our local businesses! So far, we have a Lebanese themed dinner, French, and Italian, which all sound fantastic!
Please fill out the form below to let us know what you are able to donate.
In the coming weeks we will share the list of auction items with all information needed to bid.
Thank you very much for your help and support of the Bigelow Middle School – the students, staff and faculty. Please feel free to email with any questions.
Warmly,
Alexia Giannakopoulos(alexiag5@yahoo.com) and Ruth Somers (rsomers201@yahoo.com)
