Class Baskets for Club Cab!

Development Office
CLASS BASKETS 2022
 
Dear Northwest Academy Families,
 
Club Cabaret, our largest fundraiser for student scholarships, is in full planning mode. The gala will be on Saturday, March 5th at the Nines Hotel. There will be a silent and live auction with the silent auction online for a second year.
 
Part of the silent auction is our Class Baskets. They had such a fantastic response from both donors and bidders that we're bringing them back and asking for your help to make them a success again!
 
Q. How do the class baskets work? When is the deadline to donate?
A. Individuals donate items for their student’s grade level basket. Items will be collected and made into one or more baskets (depending on the number of items received) and will be auctioned off online starting in early March. The deadline for donations is February 1st.
 
Q. How do I know what to buy?
A. You can choose something that fits with your class basket theme or purchase one of the suggested items. To make things even easier, we have created links for specific items, many of which are for local and small businesses, and previous donors. View the lists here.
 
Q. Where should I purchase items from? 
A. We encourage you to buy from local small businesses when you can and support those who have supported our school in the past. You might also own something never used and you are welcome to donate that as well. Please do not donate anything perishable.
 
Q. How do I get basket items to you?
A. Items can be 1) shipped to your basket coordinator, 2) dropped off at your coordinator's house (unless otherwise specified), 3) dropped off at Northwest Academy. Contact Sara Tam, stam@nwacademy to make arrangements to drop off at school.
 
Q. Who is my class basket coordinator and what is their address?
A. Check the spreadsheet for information regarding your coordinator, their address and contact info, and any special delivery instructions.
 
Q. Anything else I should know?
A. Participation is optional. Cash donations are also accepted which can be made through our school website.
 
Q. I have more questions. Who do I ask?
A. You can ask your Class Basket Coordinator. You can also email questions to Cris Gilman, Development Director and Sara Tam, Events & Development Associate at development@nwacademy.org.
 
Thank you for supporting Club Cabaret and student scholarships!
