The Downtown School Auction

Every other year, The Downtown School puts on an Auction for various products/services that our community has a connection to. This is by far our largest fundraiser! Our auction will be on April  20th at Ricochet in downtown Des Moines. In the meantime, we would LOVE if you could help us begin compiling the list of possible items/services to be auctioned off. Be thinking of a special experience you could provide another family, any connections to businesses that might want to donate something, or any other service or item that you think could bring in to generate some auction action! Please email the following PTA volunteers for ideas and donations towards the cause!

Emily Argo - ewurst7686@gmail.com or Sarah Shaffer - sarahc815@yahoo.com 

Those of you wanting to donate to the cause, but not participate can use the link below to donate.
