Fundraising

The PTC oversees fundraising efforts for the district schools and raises funds for Innovation Grants. Innovation Grants support materials and programs that foster inclusivity; advance the discovery of new strategies for engaging students; advocate experimentation with new technologies; and implement high-impact pedagogies - such as project-based, experiential learning. Past Innovative Grants were used to purchase innovative resources including 360-Degree Cameras, Aquasprouts Garden, a traverse-climbing wall, a sculpture, Promethean Boards, mosaics, stage equipment, a movie screen with blackout shades, a StarLab, and a playground.

Fun Fair Silent Auction

The Avoca School District Parent Teacher Council (PTC) holds its largest annual fundraiser, the Silent Auction, at Avoca’s annual Fun Fair. Funds raised by the PTC are used to purchase educational supplies, school equipment, and support school events in our District.

This charitable event is truly a community effort and is only possible because of the support from local businesses and families. Each year we reach out to the community for donations of merchandise, services, or gift certificates. Previous donations include family fitness center memberships, pool and amusement park passes, local restaurant and retail gift certificates, and sporting event tickets. Whether you decide to donate a $25 Costco gift card or Cubs game tickets, each and every donation is highly appreciated. 

Thank you in advance for your consideration. Your generous support will enable the district to achieve its fundraising goals.
