Tara Redwood School's annual auction is the biggest fundraiser of the year!

 And...Everyone is invited!

Families are welcome to extend invitations to family members and friends.

Everyone will also get a chance to contribute to special school programs with the Fund-a- Need section of the auction. We encourage to please let anybody interested in supporting a special school program know about this opportunity to participate and come and have a good time with us!

Last year we raised money for our new garden and playground, computers for teachers, and music and performance art activities.

Company Matching donation programs – Double the donation

We are asking the parents that work for large companies/corporations to look into their companies possibly matching their donations or possibly contributing in some other significant way. Many corporations match donations made by employees to nonprofits, to support employee charitable giving, and to extend corporate philanthropy. Each company has its own paperwork and directions on how it works. Check in with your HR Department to see if they have a matching donation program.

This major fundraising event is sponsored by our Parent Volunteer Group and needs the attendance of all parents to make it a success, so please mark this date on your calendars now. The money directly benefits EVERY CHILD at Tara.

Contact the Auction Committee for any information or donations.
