Byrom PSO’s biggest fundraiser is coming up… please save the date for May 4th! This year the Byrom Benefit will include some of the old auction feel and some new fun & free events! Stay tuned for more information.
We can’t pull it off without the support of many volunteers and there are many areas to help.
Procurement:
This committee will follow up with all of the Byrom supporters that will be receiving the donation letter. These businesses have all donated in the past and are very excited about supporting our school. They will also solicit new business and pick up all donations which can then be delivered to either chair of the auction. This is one of the most important committees and the success of our event depends on these donations. The team needs about 10 members. The co chairs of the auction will also be involved in this task.
Sponsorships:
This committee will contact previous and potential cash sponsors. They will present the different levels and types of sponsorships and provide the information including logos, ads, and donations back to the co chairs. This committee would be perfect for 1 -2 people.
Classroom Baskets & Projects:
This team will contact the classroom parents for someone in each class to take over a basket or a project. They will provide these volunteers with deadlines for projects and basket items. They will also pick up or have delivered the donations. This committee should have between 2 -4 people.
Set-up:
The set-up committee will help transport donations to the venue and help to set up silent, live, auction and general venue décor. This project will tentatively start at 8:00am the morning of the event. This committee needs 20 + people. We only have a short time for this and the more people that can commit the smoother the setup will go.
Wine Donation:
This committee will be in charge of obtaining our wine donations for the wine wall and guests of the event. A wine drive after school, local wineries, and wine distributors are a couple of places that have been successful in this task. It is our goal to keep our ticket prices down and provide our guest with beer and wine during the event.
Teacher Activities and Marque:
The person in charge of this opportunity will hold a meeting with the teachers and obtain the activities that they would like to offer their students in the silent auction. They will also follow up following the auction with each teacher or school employee providing them with the student or students that won each activity.
Any amount of time is greatly appreciated. This is our biggest fundraiser of the year and we need a lot of support to make it successful.
