Annual Dinner Auction 2010

Major Prize Draw

Tynong's St Thomas Aquinas College is preparing for its 10th Annual Dinner Auction fundraiser.   The Catholic college has more than 300 students, coming from Pakenham, Tynong, Garfield, Drouin, Bunyip, Warragul and Gembrook.   

A new science block has been built to service the school's growing population, and a new car park, administration building and library are on the agenda for this year. 

The College opened its doors in 1996 and in 2000 had its first community fundraiser.   Each year, the committee looks for local businesses to sponsor the event AND for items to auction off.    

Last year, the event attracted almost 250 people and raised $46,000 with items such as a canoe, dirt bikes, a holiday, antiques,    a wine rack with 30 bottles of wine and much more under the hammer.   Sponsors included Pakenham Real Estate, Andrew's Autos, Gippsland Chauffeur Drive and Frenken Homes. 

A number of different sponsorship packages are available for local businesses; from Bronze for $250 to Platinum for a $5000 cash donation.    Each package has a range of benefits, from advertising to Dinner Auction tickets and even a Limo ride to the event.  Full details are available here.

Sponsorship donations by businesses are considered an advertising expense and are therefore tax deductable.
