Dear Del Oro Supporter,

Del Oro High School has a proud tradition of academic and athletic excellence within the community.
With a student population of approximately 1700, Del Oro has nearly 1000 athletic participants each
yea
r. Many of these athletes participate in multiple sports during the school year. The Athletic
Depa
rtment at Del Oro High School is known for producing one ofthe highest quality athletic programs
i
n our area.

Budget cuts have hit Del Oro's Athletic Department. The reduction in funding is having a dramatic
impact on our sports progra
ms. Coaches have had to make significant cuts to their budgets and the
schoo
l is relying heavily on the generosity of families who are able to make financial donations.
U
nfortunately, our families are not able to donate enough to offset the budget shortfall.

The Del Oro Parent Club has committed to helping our teams and families by hosting the 1st Annual
"Love Del Oro Athletics" Online Auction February 3 -12,2012. The goal of this annual event is to
subsid
ize our athletic program by raising money that will reduce the financial impact on our families and
a
llow our coaches to continue producing athletic programs at the caliber for which Del Oro is known.

To accomplish these goals, the Del Oro Parents Club is seeking your donation for items that can be sold
in our online auction. We gladly accept gift certificates, products, services, outings, trips, or any other
donations. Shoppers love creative packages, experiences or gift baskets so let your imagination run.

Del Oro students are not only talented athletes but outstanding scholars and citizens who are worthy of
your support. To learn more about Del Oro or our Athletic Department, I invite you to visit the school
website www.puhsd.k12.ca.us/deloroor you may contact me directly at 916-705-4535. Please
consider donating
to the Del Oro Parent Club's 1st Annual "Love Del Oro Athletics" online auction and
help our athletes soar!

Thank you for your support!
