SWINGING SWEETS
Swinging' Sweets is just around the corner! It's time to get started on soliciting and putting baskets together for the Silent Auction! We are looking for approximately 40 baskets to put in the auction and need band families to help solicit and donate items. Putting a basket together is always fun, and it is amazing how many items are always donated by local businesses! All donations go to support Liberty Jazz Bands.
Donate a Basket
- Sign Up: Be creative with the basket ideas below. Select which basket you would like to donate in this Sign Up Genius. You can also invent your own basket by selecting and filling in the comments for the 'Create Your Own'. We need you to sign up here as soon as possible so we know how many baskets to expect*. Please indicate in the comments on your signup which items you'll be supplying. If we need to open additional slots for each basket, we can.
- Fill the Basket: Try to fill a whole basket, or partial if necessary. We also accept single items (we will put them in a basket with related items). You may fill and assemble your own basket or we will provide a basket and assemble it for you. Items may be purchased directly or donations gathered from merchants. Consider buying one item and soliciting the rest!
- Solicit Donations: Please use the donation letter when gathering donations. We have a donation letter you can give to businesses. Please contact Diane Hunke or Lesa Brown (contact info below) to get any letters that you need. If you would like to learn how to solicit donations, contact Diane Hunke.
- Give Us Information: A paper that lists the items in the basket, your name and contact info, the total value of the items, and any businesses or individuals who gave donations.
- Drop off: All donations or completed baskets can be dropped off at the home of Diane Hunke, 8975 Aragon Drive, Colorado Springs CO 80920 no later than Friday, February 23rd or sooner if possible. You may also drop donations off in the band room—in that case it should be labeled "Jazz Dinner Dance."
Drawing for 4 Free Tickets to the Swingin' Sweets!
How to earn drawing entries* by donating to the Silent Auction:
- Basket of items = 4 entries
- A single stand-alone auction item (such as an artwork) = 3 entries
- Gift certificates = 1 entry for every $25 (i.e. a $100 gift card would earn 4 entries)
- A single item that gets placed in a basket = 1 entry
- 1 additional entry for each day the items or baskets are dropped off prior to due date of February 23rd.
*Items/baskets must be dropped off by Friday, February 23rd to be entered into the drawing.
Help Assemble Baskets
Have a couple of extra hours? Sign up to help assemble baskets! A fun time guaranteed! We need two helpers per date listed in the signup. Basket assembly will happen at Diane Hunke's house.
*We occasionally must hold a basket back for the next event if we receive it too late or if we have too many baskets. Please know that we will use every basket eventually and all donations are appreciated!
