PURPOSE
Galleon provides an evening of great friends, food, fun and entertainment for people who support the work being done in Columbus Catholic Schools, while generating additional funds for Columbus Catholic Schools. The funds are used to maintain our high educational standards through teaching materials, professional development and technology.
WHAT TO EXPECT THIS YEAR
An online silent auction will take place from Monday, April 22nd until Sunday, April 28th. Anyone will be able to bid on the silent auction items. There will also be a raffle ticket pre-sale for items to win. Watch for information about the silent auction and raffle tickets.
We will also be bringing back “Father’s Fanny Pack!” This is a very popular Live Auction item that will be auctioned off at the Galleon event. Anyone who wishes may donate gift cards and/or cash to this exciting prize prior to the event or even at the event. Just let Stacy Casperson in the Gift Card Office know what you would like to donate. Our school chaplain, Father Clements, is excited to see how much he can stuff into his fanny pack! Since this is his first year, let’s see how well he does.
WHAT CAN YOU DO?
We rely heavily on donations from our sponsors and families to make Galleon a huge success. There are many ways that you can help:
- Volunteer to be on the planning committee. There are many ways to help with this fun event and many of them don’t require a significant amount of time. Let me know if you want more information.
- Donate cash and/or gift cards to Father’s Fanny Pack.
- Donate a bottle of wine or liquor for our Cork Pull game. Numbered corks are $20 each and everyone’s a winner of a mystery bottle of wine, spirits or craft beer at this game.
- Donate an item or service to our silent auction. Do you have a special talent? Are you crafty? Do you like to cook? We are looking for a WIDE variety of items to include!
- Donate an item or service to our live auction. Some of our popular auction items from previous years include an experience such as Mexican, Italian, or Backyard BBQ dinners. Group activities have included the Amazing Race, Wine & Cheese Tastings and a Packer Tailgate Party.
- Volunteer to help at Galleon. This could include helping with set up, take down, working at the event monitoring games or helping with the registration table.
- Do you have an idea or a suggestion for a unique auction offering? I’d love to hear it!
