Parishioner Donation FAQs

It’s time to start thinking about a donation to the J2A Silent and Live auction. Here are some answers to frequently asked questions (FAQs) about donations.

What are parishioner donations? Donations are anything you can donate that we can sell as one of the items in the J2A auction. It can be anything from tickets to a sporting event, a gift basket, or offer up a talent you have like cooking, gardening, or hosting a party.

What types of items sell the best? Tickets, progressive dinners, birthday parties, golf outings, gift certificates and many other items are appealing to lots of families.

What if I’m not very creative? That is ok. Anything from a gift certificate to your favorite nail salon to a bottle of wine is a great addition to the auction. Or better yet, team up with others to put together a great auction item or basket.

Will you take anything? Within reason. Remember, our goal is put together an auction full of items that will appeal to others, sell, and help raise money for the J2A Pilgrimage. Great items from the past include tickets. Does your company have Nats tickets? A box at Verizon? Do you have season tickets to the Kennedy Center? Signature Theater? Consider donating a set of tickets. These tend to be great auction items!

How do I make a family donation? Please fill out the attached form and send it to Lisa Medley at or drop it in the auction folder on the credenza outside the Parish office.

What if I still don’t have any ideas? Give Lisa Medley a call at 703-212-4788 for some ideas.
