The Auction is Coming!




The annual online auction is one of our biggest fundraisers and is coming:
February 25 - March 4, 2024

Do you have something to share for the auction?  We are asking our community to consider sharing an item or a skill that we could include in the auction. There are so many talented people in our community- and this is a great way to use those talents to help raise funds to support our school. 

Please SIGN UP HERE by February 22nd if you can help. Email amie@burrpto.org with any questions.  Some ideas community members may be able to share: 
  • Event tickets or passes:  Sports tickets? Museum passes? 
  • Share your skills: Photo session? Videography? Piano lessons?
  • Time: Could you be a personal assistant for an afternoon (running errands, grocery shopping, dropping dry cleaning, etc)? Review a resume? 
  • Prepare a meal or dessert: bake a stellar blueberry pie? A homemade Indian family dinner? Consider offering dessert once a month for a year? 
  • Donate an item or gift certificate: do you have unused gifts or gift cards lying around?
