PTO update · Wednesday, October 28, 2026
Hi Williams Families!
We're gearing up for the Williams PTO Online Auction (November 20 – December 4) and our 4th Annual Gala on Saturday, December 5, from 7–10 PM at Lasell University's Arnow Campus Center (13 Woodland Road)!
This is our biggest fundraiser of the year, and we need your help to make it a success! Every dollar raised goes directly back to supporting our students, teachers, school programs, and the Williams community.
You can get involved in several ways!
1. Donate an Auction Item or Experience
You don't need to own a business to donate something amazing! Some of our most popular auction items come from the creativity, talents, connections, and generosity of Williams families.
Here are some ideas to get you thinking:
Experiences & Special Connections
Share Your Talents
Fun Items & Packages
No donation is too small! Every contribution helps make our auction more exciting and successful.
Ready to donate? Submit your auction item here!
2. Host a Parent Party or Community Experience
Another fantastic way to support the auction is to host a fun gathering for Williams parents, families, or kids!
How does it work?
You (or a group of friends) plan and host an event. We offer a limited number of tickets for purchase through the auction, and all ticket proceeds benefit the Williams PTO.
For example, host a backyard cocktail party for 20 people at $50 per ticket, and you've raised $1,000 for Williams!
Some ideas include:
You don't have to do it alone! Team up with a few friends to host something fun. Events can take place throughout the school year, so there's plenty of flexibility.
Interested in hosting? Email abby@williamspto.org or jim@williamspto.org with your ideas!
3. Become a Corporate Sponsor
New this year! We're offering sponsorship opportunities for local businesses looking to support Williams while gaining exposure to our school and neighborhood community.
Are you a small business owner? Do you work for a company that supports local schools? Or do you know someone who would love to promote their business to Williams families?
We have three sponsorship levels:
$250 – Community Supporter
$500 – Community Partner
$750 – Community Champion
Sponsorship is a wonderful way to support our school while getting your business in front of local families!
Interested in sponsoring? Email abby@williamspto.org or jim@williamspto.org to learn more!

Whether you'd like to donate an item, share a special talent, host an event, or connect us with a potential sponsor, we'd love to hear from you!
