Need some help....

I am now a part of the Panther Pride Athletic Association! YAY! We are a group of parents that are helping the student athletes at our local public school raise money for jerseys and other miscellaneous sports items they are in need of. One of our fundraisers is going to be a dinner and silent auction. This will be held in Early September. My goal is to put together a Etsy/Artfire gift basket. I am in need of some generous sellers though! Donations are greatly appreciated but I will also be purchasing a few items to add to the basket.

The school colors are black and gold. The mascot is a Panther. All store information (web addresses, item donated etc...) will be typed up for easy access for the basket winner. I will be taking pictures of the basket and the dinner event.

If you are interested please contact me through this e-mail or through the convos on etsy or artfire.
