SPRING EVENT
 Rock the Foundation, MPAEF’s rock ‘n roll spring event, will be held on Saturday,
April 24, 2010. Mark your calendar now and get ready to “celebrate good times” with live music, dancing, and plenty of fun!
Ticket sales to the event will begin March 14th. In the meantime, there are two important ways you can get involved NOW to help make the event a rockin’ success:
 Donate to the auction
Become an event sponsor
Donate to the Auction
Our goal for Rock the Foundation is to raise over $300,000 for our schools. Much of this will come from auctioning parties, getaways, and handful of other high-value items donated by people like YOU! The types of donations we’re seeking include:
- Parties for adults and/or kids
- Large events sold to individual attendees (subscription)
- Smaller parties sold to one purchaser or group
- Ideas include theme parties, wine tastings, graduation events, arena check-in activities, and many more!
- Professional chefs to prepare private dinners for 10 or more
- Hosts for the private dinners prepared by professional chefs (host will provide the location, food, and wine for the event)
- Private suites at sporting events
- Vacation homes, condos, or timeshares
- At the beach (Carmel, Hawaii, Mexico…)
- In the mountains for skiing in the winter or outdoor fun in the summer (Tahoe, Vail, Sun Valley…)
- In the city (San Francisco, New York, Paris…)
- If you want to go there, so do other parents!
- Raffle prizes
For the auction, we are primarily collecting activities, events, and items with a total approximate value of $1,000 or more.
To make a donation or ask questions, please contact a member of the auction solicitation team by Friday, February 12th:
