Cottontails' Gala Cupcake Gift Basket - Donations Needed

As you know there is a buzz of excitement throughout Willowwind as the date for our second annual Willowwind Gala and Silent Auction approaches. Staff, faculty, and parents, are busy preparing for a wonderful night. With that, we are in need of our class's help in creating a gift basket to auction off. Classroom donations were due on Friday, January 24th, but the deadline has been extended to Thursday, January 30th. Please visit the linked Gift Basket sign up sheet to sign up to donate an item. The sign up sheet can also be found in the Right Side bar of our Website's Welcome page. We have not received any donations as of this weekend. Items are small in price (around $5 or less), but when compiled together can generate great buzz at the auction and bring donations to benefit your child's, and others', Willowwind experience.

Our class's basket theme is "Let them Eat Cupcakes!" (Cupcake / Cake Theme). Ideas on the spreadsheet may include:
cake mix
cupcake pans
frosting
decorating items (sprinkles, frosting tips, edible glitter)
baking tools (mixing bowl, spatulas, hand mixer, hand towels, aprons for parent & child)
gift certificates to local cupcakeries (Molly's, JJ's, Yummy's, Scratch)
anything cupcake themed

The ideas are endless! Be creative! If we all contribute one small token our assembled gift basket will generate great interest! Have fun with it!

In addition, remember to buy your tickets to this year's Gala (A Night to Remember) - coming up on Saturday, February 8th at the Hotel Vetro from 6:30 - 9:00. Please visit our EventBrite page to purchase tickets. Tickets can also be purchased before or after school in the Front Entryway just outside the Conference Room. Last year's Gala Silent Auction brought in $14,000 to aid in funding Willowwind programs and supplies. Our goal this year is to raise $20,000. This can't be done with your support. We hope to see you at the Gala. It is sure to be A Night to Remember.

Have an item to put up for auction? The ideas are endless - merchandise / services from your business, gift cards, tickets to local events, local community opportunities, handcraft apparel, home good, stationery….email Andria Gibson (Gala & Auction Co-Chairperson).
