1 Dear Friend of St. Theresa School, Preparations for the St. Theresa School PTO s annual Auction are underway. This exciting fundraiser will be held on Saturday, at the National Conference Center in the Loudoun County, VA suburbs of Washington, DC. The theme of this year s Auction is Around the World. Proceeds from the Auction will support science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), educational, and community programs for our 450+ students, as well as continuous education for our teachers. Our 2013 auction was a success due to the support of local and out-of-town businesses and patrons like you. The generosity of businesses and patrons in years past helped St. Theresa School to receive a U.S. Department of Education Blue Ribbon Award in The Blue Ribbon Award recognizes those schools that are committed to ensuring all students, regardless of background or ability, receive the quality education they deserve. We are requesting your support for our Auction by becoming a Sponsor, purchasing advertising space, or donating auction items in form of prizes, services, gift certificates, event tickets or cash. St. Theresa School is a 501(c)3 organization, and as a result, your donations may be tax deductible. As an Auction Sponsor, Advertiser, and/or Donor you will benefit from our comprehensive marketing strategy that includes event marketing (e.g. Auction Program, Live Auction Presentation, and Promotional Materials), social media (e.g. Facebook and Twitter), and website marketing (e.g. St. Theresa PTO and Auction Websites). We realize that many requests are made of you each year, and we sincerely appreciate your willingness to assist us in providing a superior education to the children of diverse backgrounds and abilities who attend St. Theresa School from across Loudoun County. Attached, you will find descriptions of available sponsorship levels and the benefits received at each level, a sponsorship and advertising agreement, and a donation agreement form. All sponsorships, advertising, and donations must be received by February 7, 2014, in order to be recognized in our Auction Program.
