Support our schools by donating an item
​to our silent or live auctions!​

Dear Friends of TUFSD,

​We are thrilled and honored to invite you to participate in the Foundation for the Public Schools of the Tarrytowns 2023 Spring Benefit. As a supporter of one of the largest community events of the year, your business could touch the lives of the 2,500 students in our school district and beyond.

The annual tradition of celebrating our cause continues this year with The Foundation “Spring Fling” on Saturday, April 15th at The Tarrytown House Estates at 49 E. Sunnyside Lane in Tarrytown. The evening will include a fabulous assortment of silent and live auction items, delicious food and drinks, LIVE musical performances, a photo booth, and much more. Our 2023 honoree will be outgoing TUFSD Superintendent of Schools, Christopher Borsari, who is departing in June after a distinguished and uniquely challenging tenure in our district. His dedication and warmth will be greatly missed, and we look forward to recognizing his many contributions and accomplishments at our event.

The silent auction component of our benefit drives our fundraising success. We rely on donations from families and businesses like yours, and our 300+ party-goers look forward to bidding on the wonderful items you donate. This year, in addition to promoting many of the items online in advance of the gala, we will also be distributing a printed brochure featuring every item at the event check-in. And for the first time, the silent bidding will be conducted via an online platform, which will streamline our in-person showroom, give us further opportunities to engage early bidding, and ensure maximum exposure to all of our guests throughout the course of the night.

The Foundation, a not-for-profit 501(c)(3), was established in 1993 to encourage and enhance academics, athletics, technology and the arts for all students in our schools. Funds raised are distributed as grants to teachers for innovative programs in addition to financing larger, district-wide programs aimed at inspiring and engaging ALL of our students in the categories of Wellness, STEAM, Early Childhood Literacy, Arts & Culture, and College Readiness. We are committed to enriching learning experiences so that every student can excel.

​As an auction donor, you will receive:
  • Visibility in advance of the event through Silent Auction Pro (SAP) online bidding platform, which we will open for early bidding and will promote through e-blasts and social media campaigns.
  • Company logo placement and direct link to your website from SAP and the Foundation website (for gifts valued over $250)
  • Exposure to over 2,400 families and friends who are part of our community through promotional emails and social media posts leading up to the event
  • Company name listed on printed auction brochure seen by 300+ guests at the live event
  • Tax deduction for the estimated value of your donation(s). The Foundation for the Public Schools of the Tarrytowns is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Our tax ID# is 13-3749969.
