One Way to Support the Auction: Become a Sponsor

Posted February 16, 2018 by Jess Regan

Murch’s annual auction is fast approaching (April 14th!) — so what can you do to help? Do you, your spouse, or a Murch grandparent, friend or family member work for a company or firm with a sponsorship or philanthropic fund? We are seeking sponsors for the auction at various giving levels with options for displaying company logos on our auction website, on promotional materials and at the event itself. Sponsorship is a great way to get your business’ name and logo out to our community of parents and families and support a great cause.

Click Here to Become a Sponsor.

Or, contact Katie Race Brin (click here) or Justin Connor (click here) for more details about sponsorship opportunities. You tell us who to reach out to at your company or firm, and we’ll do the rest!

Thank you in advance for supporting Murch and helping to make sure this year’s auction is the most successful yet. And please plan on attending the auction on April 14th

With the New Year upon us the time has come to announce the date for Murch’s largest fundraiser of the year, the Murch Auction! This year’s event will be a Masquerade Soiree, held on April 14, 2018 (7:30 pm) at the Washington Hebrew Congregation. Mark your calendar now!

This event is made possible by the help of the Murch Community – that means you! Through volunteering and donations we are able to raise the funds needed to provide the level of education for your kids that we have grown to expect from Murch. Money raised from the Auction goes towards resources such as new technologies, field trips, scholarships, and reading material.

Come join us for our next Volunteer Meeting on January 25, 2018 at 8pm. It is a great way to meet new Murch faces, help build community, and give back to our amazing school. Email us for location details. We hope to see you there.

In addition to helping raise money for your children’s school it’s also a fun night out with food, friends, and drink! What a great way to build our wonderful Murch Community. Information on tickets coming soon.

For more information on volunteering, donating, or general questions, please email the Auction Co-Chairs, Jess Regan and Dana Hedgpeth, at murchauction@gmail.com.
