ABOUT US
Our company started with one simple thought: "Isn't there a better - and easier - way to raise money for our schools?
Our company started with the simplest of thoughts - wasn't there a better way to raise money for our school that wasn't so time consuming and energy-sapping for us, its volunteers? Having sat through too many unproductive silent auction, carnival, and spring cleaning committee meetings, having helped set up and tear down events, and having solicited items from local companies and corporations, we knew there had to be a better way.
We set out to reduce the headaches of traditional fundraising.
We didn't want to be so tired! So, in 2003, we set out to design a system to reduce the headaches of traditional fundraising. We wanted to make it fun for the school, but less exhausting for the school community. As PTA President and PTA Treasurer, we knew the benefits of fundraising for our school - more classroom supplies; technology hardware, software, and support in every classroom; music, art, and science enrichment for all students; and more. We also knew from personal experience that our school community was using auction websites for fun and profit and to "clean house" rather than having an old-fashioned garage sale.
Our "AHA!" moment came when we realized there was a simpler way.
Our "aha" moment came when we realized that we could combine the two concepts and create a way for schools to benefit from this "cleaning house." Months later, our company was formed to assist schools and nonprofit organizations with their own website auctions.
The result - a fun, easy way to raise funds for your school.
Your school will receive the proceeds of the sale without the headaches and expense of holding an event, and the suporters of the school get "cool" stuff conveniently and easily. And the donor receives a tax deduction letter (subject to IRS regulations.) Now, everybody can get in on the action and support their school!
