If you have an item that would be suitable for the silent auction (whether you plan to attend or not), let us know.  Silent Auction items will be displayed, along with the name of the person and/or the company that donated the item.  If you own or work for a business that would have an interesting product or service to donate to the auction, this could be an advertising opportunity for you while benefitting RJC at the same time.  All items are very much appreciated.  Please call or email the school office as soon as possible if you are interested in donating an item to this event.

There is also opportunity for businesses to provide corporate sponsorship of the fundraising banquet.  If you are interested in supporting RJC as a corporate sponsor, please contact Dan Richert, RJC Development Officer at dan@rjc.sk.ca.
