[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Those who are part of a PTA that raises lots of money, please share your secret.[/quote]

There is no secret.  You need a population with friends and relatives with disposable income. People who can either straight up donate $1k+ or buy kiddie produced "art" (read: garbage) at the annual auction for hundreds of dollars a pop. In other parts of the city, that is rent money.[/quote]

Previous years at Much's silent auction have included Redskins tickets, access to DC "movers & shakers", weekend in Tuscany, selected wine from wine cellar, restaurant vouchers for expensive restaurants, Kennedy Center seats, etc. There were also fun things that involved students such as lunch/breakfast with the principal, limo ride and breakfast treats, paint-ball for kids. At my current school teachers raise money and pay for extra-circular activities!!![/quote]

Holy crap.

Our silent auction had some toys, spa items, baby gifts, paintings and a bottle of aged bourbon. I think we raised around $2K. Our total PTA budget is less than $15K. But we're a newer charter and have less than 100 students. This is the first year we've really done any fundraising.[/quote]
