Ortega's Annual Silent Auction & Raffle!
The Auction is Now Closed! A Huge Thank You to everyone who made our first online auction a big success!
Winners - Make sure to pay for your item(s) and email silentauction@ortegapto.org to make an appointment to pick them up!

Mark your calendar and plan to attend Ortega’s Annual Auction & Raffle to be held at Ortega Elementary during the Open House on Tuesday, May 19, 2026! This year, our auction goal is to raise $30,000. This money will be used to fully fund our garden sciences program, introduce Ortega students to an array of art mediums, continue to provide our library with the funds needed to operate, ensure our students have a dynamic physical education, and continue providing extra resources for our teachers and students. Reaching our goal depends on the generosity of the friends, families, businesses, and community members of Ortega Elementary.
First-Annual Adult Social
This year will mark our first year to have a pre-auction Adult Social fundraiser Sat May 9, the weekend before the Silent Auction. Tickets will be limited, so you'll want to purchase quickly once they go on sale. We will keep you updated with more details as we get closer to the event date!
​
We will also be having our silent auction items online this year! All bidding will take place on our online auction platform, which means you do not have to be present to win, and friends and family are encouraged to bid as well! Items will go online the week of the auction so you can scope out your favorites! We will have more details on where to register and find the auction items as we get closer to the auction date.

Volunteers
Our fundraisers couldn't run without volunteers! And this is no exception. Donation-seeking is one of the most vital jobs - it's not much of an auction without things to auction off!
Sign up to be a solicitor here!
​
We are seeking 3 volunteers per class to reach out to 5-7 local businesses each and request donations. Most of the outreach can be done from home, so it's a perfect opportunity to get involved if you have a busy schedule but still want to help!
We will provide a sample email template to make it easy for you to contact businesses, along with a list of previous donors and their contact details. Your help is what makes this auction a success!
The deadline to sign up is February 20, 2026. Once we have all signups, you’ll receive an email with next steps to get started.
Additionally, if you already have a relationship with any business owners who may be interested in donating, please contact Chelsea at silentauction@ortegapto.org and we’ll assign those businesses directly to you.
Thank you so much for supporting Ortega students!
Auction Donation Information
Securing donations is a vital piece of our biggest fundraiser of the year. If you are a business that would like to donate, or know of one, please fill out the Donation Form at the bottom of this page. Thank you for supporting our Otters!
​
Please consider making a donation to this year's auction! Alternatively, you can print out the form below and submit it to the front office. This has all of Ortega PTO’s information you’ll need for tax records and also helps our volunteers stay organized.
Our donation deadline this year is Monday, April 20th to allow volunteers sufficient time to get everything organized and online for auction night. Donors will be prominently acknowledged on our website. This year, we have four levels of donors based on the dollar value of contributions.
Platinum donor ($1,000 +)
Gold donor ($300 - $999)
Silver donor ($100 - $299)
Bronze donors ($1 - $99)
Any amount is greatly appreciated; it all adds up! Thank you in advance for your support in making this year's auction a great success and for supporting our school! If you have any questions at all, please feel free to contact us directly.
