Cory Auction – Corporate Sponsorship

Our Corporate Sponsors help us reach our fundraising goals so we can ensure our children receive the best education possible.  All sponsorships are 100% tax deductible and our sponsors receive the benefits of recognition and promotion to our school community of 300+ families.

Do you own your own business? Would you be interested in being a Corporate Sponsor for our auction this year?  We have several sponsorship package levels available.

Do you know someone who owns their own business?

If you know of a business that would like to become a Corporate Sponsor, we would love to talk to them!   Don’t think you know anyone who may be interested in being a sponsor?  Think again!  Your doctor, dentist, hairstylist, mechanic, etc. are all people who may consider being a Corporate Sponsor.

Please contact Pam Wandry for more information or if you would like to be a sponsor for our auction this year at pammerscush@gmail.com.

You may go online HERE to complete a Corporate Sponsorship.

Class Projects for the Auction

Every year, each class creates a artwork or item of some type to be sold at the auction. We are looking for a parent lead or a group of parents from each class to help get these class projects created by the students. These projects are loved by the students and are a wonderful keepsake for them as well. If you are interested in helping with your child’s class project please contact Hyun-Jung Behmer at plumeria0114@gmail.com

We still need parent leads for these classrooms:
Mrs. Keldin
Ms. Wing
Mrs. Clark
Mrs. Vertrees
Mrs. LaVenture
Mr. Osborn
Mr. Melamed
Mrs. Keppler
Ms. Stricker
Ms. McOwen

The class that collects the most tops will receive s pizza party! Cory raises money each year from the collection of box tops. Each teacher has a bag in their room used for collection of the tops. If you have any to share with us, please send them into school and be sure to write the teachers name on the bag so that your room gets credit for the tops!
