Dear St. George Families,
WOW: the auction was so much FUN! Be sure to check out all the terrific pictures on our school Facebook and Instagram accounts. Thank you to all who came out to celebrate and raise money for St. George. More than 260 people rallied together in fellowship!
The auction committee is wrapping up the details and will come out with final numbers soon.
Remember to ask your work place about MATHCING FUNDS. Many companies will match your donations for a double impact for St. George. Go to our website at https://www.saintgeorgeseattle.org/giving/matching for more information.
I am also extremely grateful to all the families who helped plan for and run the auction. Your more than generous donation of time, energy and procurement is greatly appreciated by us all!
