NVOS Open House

NEW DATE FOR 2010: May 2, 2010

How you can help:

Silent Auction Donations:
One of the special events that will take place at Open House is our Silent Auction and Raffle. All funds raised go towards the Outdoor School For Kids Bursary Fund. With the generous donations of merchandise, cash and services from businesses and organizations, last year’s Silent Auction raised over $5,000 towards the Bursary Fund. These monies allowed 21 children from financially disadvantaged families, who normally would not be able to afford the $230 per 5-day program fee, to experience the Outdoor School and it’s programs.

This year we would graciously accept any donations (product, services, gift certificates, etc.) that your business could make towards the success of our Silent Auction. The name of your business or organization will be displayed at the Auction next to your donations as well as be included in the print material handed out to all visitors, and listed on our website. Your support will make this an extremely successful community event.

We can receive your gift in the following ways:

· Small gifts (eg. Gift certificates)- please mail to the above address; or
· Bulky gifts – contact us and we will arrange for pickup or delivery
· Cash donations- mail to the above address or contact for pick-up

For more information about how to donate, please contact Stephanie at stephanie@nvosalumni.ca or 604-980-5116
