One Way or Another” We Love Your Procured Items!

It’s 2021 and we’re less than 3 months away from the Rock On, St. John! Virtual Gala and Auction. We need your help to ensure our night really rocks – especially with procurement. As with all things, this year’s Auction is a little different so we wanted to review some of the ways you can contribute to the Auction and fulfill your family’s Fair Share commitment of $250.

  • When deciding what to procure or donate to the auction, start by thinking what would you like to find in the auction catalog?
    • Did you start a new hobby this past year? A family game night package or a puzzler’s basket would be fun to share.
    • Did you find your love of cooking? Offer a year of bread delivered monthly to the winner.
    • Do you have a favorite local business? Donate a gift card!
    • Who doesn’t love a stay-cation in Seattle or a three day getaway to the WA Coast or Olympic peninsula?
  • Amazon Wish List – purchase an item on our Auction wish list, and it will be delivered directly to the school!
  • See a big ticket item on our Amazon Wish List?  Team up with your bestie and purchase (or procure) it together! Please complete your group procurement form so all parties get credit for the donation.
  • Still not sure what to donate? Cash donations are a great way to help out the Auction. You may donate online or send a check payable to St. John School to:
    • 106 N. 79th Street; Seattle, WA 98103

Please reach out to the Auction Team if you have any questions regarding Procurement – we’re here to help! Please also remember to complete your procurement form and email to fundraising@st-johnschool.org or return to the Auction office in the Administrative Building.

Sponsorship
Thank you to all of our sponsors who helped us reach our end of 2020 goal of $10,000. We would love to double that before our February 1 sponsorship deadline! Sponsoring the Auction greatly reduces our costs and allows more money raised to go directly to our school.  If you would like to sponsor the Auction, please visit our sponsorship summary page and complete the sponsorship agreement form.

Mark Your Calendars for a Great Week and an Evening of Rock ‘n’ Roll!

Every year, St. John School holds a spring auction to support our students: to help them become the very best people they can be. The St. John School Auction is not only an important fundraiser — supporting the school’s operating budget — but also a “friendraiser” that connects our community for the benefit of our students.

This year, we invite the St. John community to join us virtually for Rock On St John!, our 2021 Auction. The Auction will kick off with online offerings the week of March 15, 2021, and culminate on Friday, March 19, 2021 — with a livestream program from Fremont Studios!  Dinner packages will be available for purchase and you will have the opportunity to participate in some of your favorite auction traditions with a drive-thru event on auction day!

.Great news – since it is a virtual auction, EVERYONE can take part! Grandparents, friends, neighbors or anyone who would like to support St. John School are invited!

Procurement Needs
We need your help to make the 2021 Auction ROCK!  Because campus activity is limited right now, we prefer you use one of the following contactless ways to procure or donate to the Auction:

  • Monetary Donation: Make a cash donation to help underwrite Auction expenses
  • Monetary Donation to a Package: Help underwrite an amazing package created just for the Auction.
  • Sponsorship: Become a sponsor or solicit a business to become one. Please refer to the sponsorship summary and sponsorship agreement form for more information.
  • Amazon Wish List: Shop our gift registry and your purchase will be shipped directly to St. John in your name.
  • Donate Gift Cards: Mail gift cards to St. John School – what is your favorite Seattle business?

Auction Q&A Session
Do you have questions about procurement, sponsorship, or about the event itself? Join us for an Auction Q&A Zoom meeting on Tuesday, December 15 at 7:00pm. The auction team will be happy to answer your questions!  A Zoom link will be sent out in next week’s Auction News email.  All families are welcome to participate, whether you’re a new or long-standing family of St. John!

Are You Ready to ROCK?

You know the sound, you got the feeling,
You know there’s no going back
It’s all you see, all you believe
You must have that sound
You gotta rock, and get down
Some crazy dreams, make your head spin round
Let’s rock and get down
You heard the word, now it’s all over town
Out in the streets, the kids stand and wait their time
Tell me how do you feel, do you wanna rock tonight
Are you ready, are you ready to rock
Tell me you’re ready, tell me you’re ready to rock!
