Genesee Christian School’s Annual Benefit Auction takes place every March. Over the past 14 years, the auction has raised over $1,200,000 to help with increased security, bathroom renovations, parking lot construction/repairs, playground equipment, chrome book lab, computer upgrades, smart boards, gym and locker room renovations, as well as supplementing the general fund to meet operating expenses.

Sponsorship Levels
Advertisement Levels
GCS receives support from various businesses through sponsoring our auction or placing ads in our auction catalog. There are different sponsorship levels and ad sizes available to choose from (see above). Our sponsors underwrite the entire event. Businesses play a key role in organizing the event and every penny of the profit goes directly to the school. If you own a business or know someone who does, this is an excellent opportunity to help GCS.

How it Works
School families ask businesses for tax-deductible donations of items, services, or gift certificates to auction at our benefit. Attendees can enjoy a catered meal, socialize, and bid on items at a lower price than retail. All proceeds go to GCS.
Tips on How to Get Donations
Many businesses and restaurants like Buffalo Wild Wings, Bagger Dave’s, Italia Gardens and others, set aside a monthly allowance for charitable donations. You can ask these businesses for inventory items such as gift cards, new items, or other goods that they can donate and write off as a tax deduction. You can also ask your friends and family who do crafts or have their own businesses or services. If you find great deals on new items during Black Friday or other discount sales, you can purchase these items to donate to the auction.

Donation Items We Love
Consider donating any new item or service worth $10 or more to make a great contribution. There are numerous options to choose from, such as gift cards or certificates, handmade crafts, timeshare vacations, tickets to sporting events, cottage rentals, airplane sky tours, brand new jewelry, small appliances, sports memorabilia, and gift certificates for beauty, lawn care, and car maintenance services. These are just a few examples of the great items that have been donated to previous auctions.
