The Burr Online Auction is coming soon!
This is one of our largest annual fundraisers and a great chance to support the Burr community and win some great items.
We are looking for items to put up for auction, and we could use your help. We are seeking the following items to auction:
- House rental(s). If you or anyone you know has a home that is rented that could be donated for a weekend, long weekend, or week—it would make the auction special. Cape Cod, ski areas, Florida, anywhere!
- Sporting or event tickets. Does anyone have season tickets that they may not use for one game/event? They'd make a great item for bidding.
- Experiences. Could someone in your family donate cook a meal and deliver it, host a COVID-safe soccer lesson, or give online cubing, music or chess lessons. Do you know a police officer or firefighter as to get a tour or bring a vehicle to a party?
- Gift Cards. These could be to almost any business local or national. If you have unused gift cards or you want to buy some to donate feel free!
- Any other idea you might have

The Wolf Fund—THANK YOU!!!
Over the last few months the Wolf Fund has raised $23,446 donated by more than 130 Burr families! This is very close to our very ambitious goals and we are so appreciative of this supportive community!
While this year's campaign has officially ended, general donations to the Burr PTO can be made anytime at https://givebutter.com/burrpto.
Note: For those who donated $60 or more, we will have Burr car magnets coming soon. They have been ordered, but supply chain issues have caused some delay. We will be sending them out as soon as they arrive. Thank you for your patience!
