As other Management and Leadership groups have done before, we wanted to continue supporting Glenwood Elementary, a low income school in Waukegan IL. We decided to organize a Silent Auction to raise money for buying Apple products as suggested by Mrs Amy Newman, a teacher at Glenwood Elementary. The following video shows all our work and we hope that our project will encourage other Management and Leadership groups to continue helping Glenwood Elementary. Enjoy!

Our Plan:
Glenwood Proposal
Challenge State:
- Help students and families attending Glenwood by donating electronics
- Raise $650 to buy apple products
- Do a silent auction: we will bring prizes (list in The Plan) and put them on a table (we will fix a starting price for each item). People can come, choose the price that they want (for example, a book at $10) and put their name on the list. But someone else can come and say that he will buy the book for $12; then someone else, or someone who’s made a previous bid can come again, etc.
- Set an example for how other GBN students can help this community in the future
The Plan:
- Put together a silent auction to help the students and families attending Glenwood

Benefits of the Project:
- Our project will benefit students at Glenwood Elementary by heightening their way of learning.
- We also intend to set a precedent for future Management classes, and hopefully encourage them to continue our project.
- The benefits for us is that worked as a team to accomplish a goal of $650.00 and exceed it.
Definition of Success Criteria:
- We are aiming to have around 20 total “prizes.”
- Our target for total amount of money collected from the bidding (and therefore going toward food) = about $650.00
- Buying Apple products
- Then bring to Glenwood Elementary school in Waukegan IL
Next Steps: Silent Auction
- Obtain items and services to be auctioned → did that
- Decide on a date, time and place for the auction → did that
- Create auction sheets → did that
- Make list of auction items with starting prices → did that
- Advertise the auction → did that
Implementation Strategies/Job Responsibilities:
George M. and Allie - talk to Tarjan and find how we want to use the money and find prizes for silent auction
Melanie, Ann, George H and Sebastian - find prizes for silent auction; handle advertising
Final date for silent auction:
- Nov 14 ,2013
Location: Green & Gold Conference Room
Hours: 7:40AM to 3:10 PM
How did we organize our silent auction:
- We got approved by Tarjan to have the silent auction in the Green and Gold conference room.
- Group members had jobs to go ask family, friends and teachers for donations for the silent auction for Glenwood Elementary school.
- We brought all the items together and decided the beginning prices.
- We made bidding sheets and images with the name of the items.
- We did a schedule for the Silent Auction day because not all group members needed to be in the Green and Gold Conference room during the whole day.
- Group members arrived at 7:30 to help setting the tables, the items, the bidding sheets and the images.
- We put posters on the outside of the Green and Gold Conference, advertise in the SAC and in place with people concentration. In addition, during lunch, we went in the cafeteria to collect money for donations.
- 5 minutes before we close the Silent Auction, people that have bit in the morning come back and begin to bit more and more especially for the Sophomore parking pass and the Blackhawks tickets. Our job was to encourage them to bit more.
- At 3:15, we clean up the room, collect the sheet of paper, the prices and pull off the posters.
How people will get their items and us, our money:
- One team member take all the bidding sheets and shared a Google doc with all the names, ID number and amount of money that they own us.
- We divided this document in 6 and everybody send their email attached with a certificate that they can show to the teacher or student for items like “Lunch with Pryma”
- The items was stored in the Career and Life Skills Office at Mrs Ingersoll desk.
