The MVEF is accepting donated items for the Silent and Live Auctions. The auctions are a very exciting part of the gala and each year participants enjoy the great items they receive. More importantly, they leave knowing their contribution will make a difference for students and teachers in the Mt. Vernon Community School District.
Each year the diversity of donated items increases, reflecting the many facets and creativity of our community. Items range from gift certificates to all-expenses-paid vacations, and past auctions have included trips, wine parties, time-shares, attractions, gift cards, dinner parties, golf outings, pet grooming, jet flights, oil paintings, designer bags, paintball, and jewelry. The MVEF greatly appreciates the support of the community in the donation of these items. We are happy to brainstorm with you on auction ideas!
Anyone may donate items for the auctions. No item is too great or too small. For your convenience, MVEF volunteers are available to pick up your donated items.
