I love this board. I am in NJ and we are having our Annual Fashion Show which has over 100 baskets 20+ Grand Prizes and Silent Auctions on April 5 We get majority of our donations from families and local businesses but have written over 200 letters/emails etc to many companies on this list as well as googling NJ donation requests. Since we are a school I was googling authors in NJ donation requests and I came across this blog that made me want to share with you regarding authors and their willingness to donate. It is a great perspective: taralazar.com/2013/09/26/authors-and-boo...tricky-tray-dilemma/
We are slowly getting in donations but I will share my successes soon. THANK YOU again for sharing on this board. Lots of luck with your events.
Our Trivia/Auction is March 7, here is my list so far: Disney World (4) Park Hopper Passes, Drury Hotels, Atlantis Resorts(3 Night Stay), American Girl( Doll of the Year), 54th St. Bar & Grill, Schnucks, YMCA(1 Year Membership), and hoping for a few more major companies.
