Auction Donation Ideas
The success of our auction depends on the creativity and generosity of Lowell families.
We’d love for every Lowell family to think of at least one thing they could donate to the
auction. Don’t forget to reach out to family and friends to see if they might donate or
help you make a unique connection. Please check out the ideas below and see where
you can help. When you’re ready, bring your procurement form to the office. Thank you
for your support!
