Become a Spring Fling 2026 Sponsor!
We’re inviting you to make a difference for nearly 400 students at Whittier Elementary in Seattle’s Ballard neighborhood by supporting our Spring Fling Auction Fundraiser on March 7, 2026.
Whittier PTA, a 501(c)3 non-profit, bridges the funding gap to provide essential staff and programs our public school wouldn’t otherwise have—extra school nurse time, reading and math support and enrichment, regular arts education, playground supervision, classroom supplies, library books, and STEAM learning for our Wildcat scholars.
We’re seeking donations of goods, services, or experiences for our auction—and inviting local businesses to become event sponsors. Sponsors and donors receive meaningful recognition in our WildChat newsletter, event materials, and community promotions reaching more than 1,500 families, plus visibility to up to 350 attendees at the live event (and maybe even a friendly bidding war for your item!).
