Dear Ezra Families,
We’re gearing up for this year’s silent auction at Turkey Bingo on Friday, November 20, and
we’d love your help making it a success!
Last year, thanks to the generosity of our Ezra families, local businesses, and teachers and staff
who donated special experiences, we raised over $5,000! We’re hoping to build on that success
this year, and donations of all kinds are welcome.
Some ideas include sporting event tickets, restaurant gift cards, self-care packages, Airbnb or
vacation stays, family experiences, products, or services. Donations could be something you
offer through your own business or something your employer might be willing to contribute. You
can also team up with another family to put something together!
In the coming weeks, we’ll also share an Amazon wish list of items to help us fill out and
enhance our silent auction baskets. This will be another easy way to contribute!
If you’re interested in donating an item or experience, please contact Shannon Nordquist via
email ShannonNordquist@gmail.com or call/text at 402-213-3155.
Thank you for supporting Ezra and helping make Turkey Bingo a fun and successful event for
our community!
Shannon Nordquist
