For Our Great Donors

This post is for all those companies we've been asking to donate to our wonderful Country Fair Silent Auction. Here are the details of our event.


We are Southland Elementarty PTO. We serve 500 families, including 800 students in Riverton, UT. We are a 501(c)3 non-profit dedicated to providing opportunities to our students. We provide Drug Awareness, a Science Club, Safety programs, Arts programs, Literacy programs, a Talent Day program and several Health programs.


We are all volunteers and work closely with the teachers and administration to provide the best possible opportunities for our students.


How can you help? We are having our annual Country Fair fundraiser May 11, 2012. It will include food, games, face painting, hair painting, and a silent auction to benefit our amazing programs. We are asking businesses to donate in kind items, gift cards or money to the silent auction baskets.


In return, participating companies will receive recognition in our newsletter, which is emailed to the 500 families that attend our school. We will include a recognition article on our blog and Facebook page to let the community know of your support. We will also put your company name on our Thank You banner which will be displayed during the week of our event.


If you have any other questions, please contact President Elect Katie Larsen at larsenkatie@comcast.net.


Thanks for all your consideration.
