Make the items unique!

Some of our best selling items are unique experiences.
  • Do you have a friend in a Broadway show that would be willing to give a backstage tour or have drinks after the show?
  • Are you connected to someone at a restaurant?  Ask the chef to give a personalized tasting menu experience?
  • Do you know someone in the hotel business? 
We can make a package from items above and anything else you can think of to make a night out special

But, I don't know what to say?  Help!

Here is a link to a solicitation letter to send to your prospective donors explaining all the reasons for them to donate. 
Solicitation Letter

It's always better if you can make a personal connection to someone, so here is an example of what you can add to your email.
Hi, my name is _______ and I'm a parent at Midtown West School here in New York City.  I was just in your restaurant and I love the arancini you have on your menu. Or, you can say, I'm a frequent customer at your store where Cindy helps me all of the time"  

Please include the Donation Form to your email. There is a digital link on the form as well which is mentioned in the solicitation letter.

Why Should You Get Donated Items?  We're glad you asked...

​7 REASONS TO DONATE
  1. Donations are tax deductible.
  2. You love your neighborhood & community.
  3. You love children, believe in a great education and want to make a difference.
  4. Your business donation will be seen by thousands of people.
  5. We are your customers.
  6. Your business believes in giving back or paying forward.
  7. You can’t help it, you are simply awesome!
​You can help our students reach their full potential as active learners in an environment where diversity is celebrated
and collaboration between families, community and school is encouraged. To sustain these kinds of educational and enrichment programs costs $750 per child beyond funds allocated by the government. NYC schools are facing significant budget cuts of up to $100,000 a year per school. Midtown West is on this list. With money tight, enrichment programs are the first to go.
