“I really love working on school fundraisers because the people involved — often parents and teachers — are so vested in their school communities,” said Anthony Nurse, charity fundraising director for Autograph Store. “In a lot of cases, the school auction ideas we deliver can mean the difference between kids getting a good education and getting into college, or getting a poor education and ending up flipping burgers. So many schools desperately need these dollars, and we’re so happy we have the resources to help.”
Mainstays of Autograph Store Charity Fundraising’s Fundraise for Schools Program include charity auction items, like autographed guitars and photos from Miley Cyrus, Taylor Swift and The Jonas Brothers, as well as once-in-a-lifetime experiences, like trips to Disney World and NASCAR events. New for this school year are photos signed by pop music sensation Justin Bieber, and teen movie icons Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson from the “Twilight” film series. With this new crop of school auction items available for the 2010-2011 school year, Autograph Store Charity Fundraising is confident its sponsorship efforts will make a significant difference for countless students.
