The Gala + Auction is Warner’s biggest fundraiser of the year, and we can’t make it impactful without your help. Our goal is to have over 400 auction items lined up and secured in a wide variety of categories: travel, health and beauty, kids items/toys, jewelry, restaurants dining and wine, sporting events, and unique experiences. We’re asking every family to donate at least one meaningful item to the auction. Our slogan is “1 item, 1 family”.This could be anything from a gift certificate to your favorite workout class, your OWN business, a restaurant, your favorite hotel, a kids’ camp, a salon, etc. etc. All you have to do is bring a solicitation form with you when you visit your favorite businesses, and ask if they would kindly make a donation of a gift card, certificate or product to your child’s school.
Your class’ gala rep will be tracking your items that have been secured on a shared google doc which is being viewed by the Gala team!
All donations (along with completed donation forms) can be turned into the Spring Auction Mailbox in the main school office. Items can also be sent directly from the business to the school: Warner Ave. School, Attn: Spring Gala + Auction, 615 Holmby Avenue, Los Angeles, CA 90024
If you have any questions, or have a potential amazing live auction item, please contact:
Didn’t quite get around to taking those professional photos of your children like you wished you would have this year?
Well, worry no more! Warner’s very own Lyora Peykar will be taking our children’s portraits to be displayed at the Spring Gala on March 14th!
Portraits will be taken on Friday, February 21, 2020, during school hours in the KHORSHIDI FAMILY courtyard. Deadline to order is February 18, 2020. (Make up day is Monday, February 24th.)
Choose your custom portrait package – prints, digital, or a combination of both digital and prints! *Note that sibling packages include BOTH individual and sibling group photos.
And what’s better than supporting Warner AND getting amazingly cute photos of your kids? All portraits will be shown in the auction slide show and in the yearbook! All proceeds go to WAVE.
Do you and your child want to see your name on this list and the banner that goes up in front of the school for Spring Sing? If so, then hurry and get your Annual Fund donation in today! If you can’t give the suggested amount, GIVE WHAT YOU CAN. EVERY DOLLAR MATTERS, AND WE ARE COMING UP ON THE DEADLINE TO HAVE NAMES ON THE BANNER. We need widespread support to ensure we can continue to provide the high-caliber education we want for our kids.
Thank you to the following families who, as of February 6th, have already donated to the Warner Annual Fund (if you donated and do not see your name on this list or your name is displayed incorrectly, contact warnerannualfund@gmail.com).
