We are seeking in-kind donations such as gift cards, physical  items and experiences for our Spring Fling and Silent Auction at Mercury Mine Elementary School on Saturday, February 21, 2026. This event is one of our largest events and offers a unique opportunity to market your goods and services directly to an active group of local consumers. This is a free event to attend and we have activities including carnival games, bounce houses, and rides for the children as well as a silent auction for the adults. We anticipate 500+ individuals to attend this annual event, and have a fundraising goal of $10,000.

We also welcome sponsorships for interested businesses, with the chance to advertise your business. Sponsorships help us to offset event costs, allowing more of the community to participate. Sponsorship opportunities include sponsoring a bounce house, a petting zoo, or an idea of your own! It’s a win/win for businesses and families alike.

In-kind donations for this event will be auctioned off with the winners receiving the product or service you provide.  In addition to marketing your products and services to local families, in-kind donors and sponsors are recognized on our facebook page @MercuryMinePTG, Instagram @mercury_mine_ptg, and our website: mercurymineptg.com, as well as in all of the marketing materials used to promote the event.  There is a chance to display banners, signs, or displays (subject to approval) on site if your business is interested.

Family events, like the Spring Fling and Silent Auction, serve to bring our community together. All funds earned from the Spring Fling and Silent Auction go directly to programs supported by the Mercury Mine PTG.  Specifically, PTG supports teacher classroom expenses, STEAM, library needs, PE equipment, art supplies, supplemental music curriculum, artist in residence, playground enhancements, and much, much more.  

Please note we are a nonprofit organization and all money earned goes back to our programs for the school and students. Our tax identification number is 86-0529372. If possible, we would like donations received by February 11, 2026 to allow time to prepare. Thank you for your consideration in helping at our event!

Sincerely, 

Tabitha, 

Spring Fling Auction Chairperson
