Dear Symmes Elementary Parents,  

                      

The Symmes Carnival Bid n’ Buy committee needs your help!  We would like to invite you or your company to donate items or services to help support our school and to be a part of this successful event.  Feel free to include marketing materials you would like displayed alongside your auction donation.  

This is what we are looking for:

Do you have any unused gift cards sitting around your home?

We can use any and all unused gift cards in our auction or baskets.

Do you have any items from your business that you can donate?

                For example: Tastefully Simple foods, specialty cupcakes, handmade jewelry, services.

Do you have any connections to any professional athletes?

                Autographed items are quite popular.  

Does your family have season tickets to any local sporting or cultural events?

                Donations for a select baseball game, football game, basketball game, Children’s Theater tickets,

                Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, etc… are always popular!  If you know your family can’t use one

                of the dates, we’d welcome the donation!

Do you have a connection at a local business in which you might be able to help us secure a donation (this could be a drycleaners, restaurant, hair salon, or other places that you frequent)?

                Our committee has been busy soliciting area businesses, so please contact us first as we do not

                want to duplicate our requests to the business community.

Let’s all help make this the most successful Bid n’ Buy year yet!  Be certain to mark your calendars for our Bug-A-Palooza Carnival, February 27th

***Please call or e-mail me and I will make arrangements to pick up your donations, as well as answer any questions you may have.

Thank you in advance for your help!
