Auction Items Needed for our Largest Fundraiser Of The Year!!!

We need your help in guaranteeing the success of our Soleado Booster Club's Largest Fundraiser of the year. We are calling on you to use your networking skills to reach out to your friends, business associates, neighbors and acquaintances to help us obtain silent and live auction items. 

As the saying goes, "Everybody knows somebody who knows somebody". This is the key ingredient for successful fundraising and obtaining auction items for this year's event.  Remember that donated items will be promoted and advertised in event publications and publicity materials and are tax deductable for the item's fair market value.


Local Business Connections - places where you frequently patronize (dinners for two, hotel weekend stays, quality wines, gift baskets, sporting equipment, spa gift certificates, rounds of golf, Costco memberships, cruises, games of golf, bowling or ice skating, yoga or dance lessons, fitness coaching, TV show guest passes, film festival passes, movie premiere tickets, etc.)

The opportunities are endless, and every donation will benefit our Suns!

With your help, we know Soleado's Black & White Masquerade Ball  will be successful!

CLICK HERE to download the Donation Letter with Federal ID

To donate an auction item, please email Donna donna.epstein1@gmail.com

iBerries Art Contest Winners


Soleado Families,

Recently, Mrs. Donahoe promoted an iBerries Art Contest and encouraged all Soleado Students to participate. Students could submit their iBerries yogurt art designs to be exhibited at the iBerries on Deep Valley Dr. We just received word from the owner that a winner has been chosen and their art will be displayed on the iBerries in-store video monitor Saturday, September 20. He really enjoyed the other art designs submitted, so along with the winner, he will be showing all submissions from Saturday, September 20 to Saturday, September 27. 

If you have time, you might want to swing by and take a look at the wonderful creative designs submitted by our Soleado Suns. 

Mrs. Stutzel
