Annual Dinner and Auction

Saturday, March 19, 2011
Westin Bellevue

Your Role

Each Bear Creek family is expected to procure an item or items valued at $150 for the auction. The auction office supports you by offering procurement packets, ready for your signature, which you can drop off or mail to the prospective donors. Each packet contains a procurement form, generic solicitation letter and return and outer envelopes. We can prepare custom letters at your request.

How

Pick up procurement packets at either main office or download the procurement form. Call Linda Sheppard (425-898-1720 ext. 338) or Michele Herold (425-898-1720 ext. 337) if you have questions or would like to discuss your idea.

What

The auction is the school’s largest community-building event and our second largest fundraiser. We invite all families to attend and will send an invitation to anyone for whom you provide an address. Think about inviting friends, family, neighbors and other supporters from throughout the community. Hundreds of items will be available for bidding in Silent Auctions and a spectacular Live Auction.

Why

Our students reflect the rich cultural, geographic, and socio-economic diversity of the local Christian community. Funds raised at the auction help the school to provide a challenging, academic curriculum with a Christian worldview and to make our unique program affordable to as many children as possible. Each year a special Fund-A-Need also provides money for a targeted project at Bear Creek. Recent projects have included technology, the science department, and the fine arts department.

When and Where

Saturday, March 19, 2011 in the Grand Ballroom at the Westin Bellevue. Invitations will be mailed in late January and we expect over three hundred friends of Bear Creek to attend.

Auction Meeting Schedule

Everyone, newcomers and experienced auction volunteers, is welcome to attend our monthly meetings held in the Farmhouse and publicized in The Bear Facts well in advance.
