15TH ALMOST ANNUAL BASKET AUCTION
FRIDAY MARCH 20, 2015
Dear Sunnymead Families,
This packet contains important information regarding this year’s Basket Auction. In an effort to
reduce the amount of paper sent home about this event, this family packet will be the only hard
copy that you will receive. The entire packet is available on the Sunnymead School website under
the HSA home page tab. Please review the contents of this packet carefully and refer any related
questions to the contacts listed below.
The Basket Auction is by far the most important fundraising event for the Sunnymead Home and
School Association. All of the net proceeds from this event are used for the benefit of all the children
attending Sunnymead. Your donations are a very important part of the event and we thank you for
all of your help and assistance in making the 2015 Basket Auction a success.
We are requesting donations be made to grade level baskets, family baskets & spirit baskets.
Optional donations can be made for program advertisements. If you prefer a monetary contribution,
we can purchase items on your behalf.
After reviewing this information, please order your tickets. We want you to come out and enjoy this
fun evening of friends, family, faculty and great prizes. This is a wonderful opportunity to meet
other Sunnymead families. We hope that you go home a winner on Friday night March 20, 2015.
Thanking you in advance for your generosity. Your time of volunteering and donations will make
our event a successful FUNdraiser.

• All donations received must be NEW and in original store labeled condition.
• When a single family or staff member donates a basket you will receive a ticket
sheet for the total value of EACH basket donated. For example: If you donate 3
baskets, you will receive 3 ticket sheets based on the value of each basket (as
long as the value is greater than $50.00).
• If multiple families/ staff members donate to one basket, the basket value is
divided amongst the families donating and the appropriate ticket sheet/grand
prize tickets will be provided. For example: If 2 families donate one basket for a
value totaling $150.00. The $150.00 is divided by 2 = $75.00. Each family
would receive tickets for baskets in LEVEL 1 OR the families/staff members can
share 1 ticket sheet for baskets in LEVEL 2.
• All donations made are separate from donations made to grade level baskets.
All baskets must have a face value of at least $50 for ticket purposes. The basket
auction program will include the names of ALL that donate either monetarily or

WHAT IS A BASKET AUCTION?
(Also known as a Tricky Tray)
Friday. March 20, 2015
6:00 PM at Polish Falcons Catering Hall
140 Falcon Rd., Hillsborough, NJ
A Basket Auction or Tricky Tray is a fundraising event. Guests buy tickets, preview
items (donated items wrapped into baskets) then place tickets in containers next to
baskets in hopes they win the items contained in the basket. Once the preview ends
and tickets are deposited we start to draw the winners and deliver every prize to the
winners table. That's it! No skill, no bidding... just food, fun and a lot of luck. It’s a
great time enjoyed by adults only ~ your friends, family and Sunnymead staff.
We are proud that Sunnymead School’s Basket Auction has a reputation for being one of
the biggest Basket Auction in our community. One of the reasons for our success year
after year, is the generosity of donations from families, local businesses and corporate
advertisements. The money raised supports events and activities at Sunnymead
School. Through our fundraising efforts, Sunnymead Home and School Association has
been able to purchases such gifts as a new school sign, a public address system, stage
risers, art room kiln, digital cameras for teachers and new computers for Sunnymead
staff, faculty and most importantly our children.
If interested in learning about, volunteering for or donating to this Fundraising event,
contact Danielle Scott 732.616.6096 or [email protected]
There are many
opportunities for volunteering: Tickets Sales, Delivery, Desserts, Cleanup, Program,
Solicitation, Basket Wrapping & Runners, just to name a few. Enclosed you will find a
volunteer signup form. Please consider helping out few hours prior to or on the day of
our event, your help would be greatly appreciated. We rely on your volunteering to make
this event a success.
Thank you,
