Request for  Charity Auction Prizes 
          
        For Black Tie Dinner with Stuart Lancaster on 
        
        Saturday 21st September 2013.
         
We would like to ask for your help in offering some  prizes for the Charity Auction 
  which will take place as part of the Black Tie  Dinner.
        This unique fundraising event will raise money for the  Calvert Trust and the Cash for Kids - ‘Give Me a Break’ appeals - both  charities work to benefit young people with special needs in West Cumbria. 
          In  particular, The Calvert Trust has been of great benefit to the life of one of our  own, 
          much valued former pupils, Thomas Froggatt. 
          A donation will also be made to the St Bees branch of  the RNLI.
        We are looking for 10-15 main prizes which could help  to raise money for the above charities. 
        Ideas for prizes could include a themed  break (fishing/winetasting/cooking/golfing), a holiday/shortbreak (hotel/timeshare/self  catering), a case of wine/beer/whiskey, an 'experience' (balloon flight,  helicopter ride, racing/classic car trip), tickets to sporting events, signed  sporting (or other) memorabilia or anything else you may have access to and  could offer. 
        On the other hand if you are not able to offer anything  personally, but would like to help, a donation of money could be given to  'purchase an experience' which could then be offered for auction.
        Any suggestions or offers would be gratefully  received, however big or small, as the money raised 
        will be much appreciated by  all the local charities mentioned.
        Please get in touch as soon as possible with any  offers of prizes.
