Two of the most popular activities at our annual fundraiser are the Silent Auction and the Live Auction. This
year we anticipate some lively bidding for perennial favorites as well as many new exciting offerings. To keep
the auctions manageable, we will be offering half of the Silent Auction items on line from September 1 – 30,
prior to the event (the other half will be at the event). If you are the winning bidder on line, you can pay for and
be finished with your transaction before the night of the event!
Donors: be creative, have fun, think outside the box when you write your item pitch. Think in categories, such
as food (of course!)—a Sunday Football Brunch, a basket of home baked pastries, an Italian, French, Israeli
homemade dinner, a gift card to a favorite restaurant, a basket of wine and chocolate.
OR: Tickets to cultural outings—DCPA, VINTAGE THEATER, ARVADA CENTER, CURIOUS THEATER—you get the picture. OR tickets to a musical concert, the Symphony, Lamont School of Music at DU, pop concerts.
OR: Tickets to a sporting event.
OR: Offer a Skill: Are you a gardener? Offer a couple hours to help someone plan and plant, OR Learn how to milk a goat. OR: Offer a mini course (1,2,3,4 sessions) on Secrets of Professional Food Critics, OR teach a mini class on What Makes a Great Obituary.
OR: Offer up a second home for a short vacation. Describe the home, tell what there is to do nearby, tell what
amenities are offered (and what are not).
OR: Look around your house for beautiful items that have never been used: Think of that colorful vase from
Italy that’s still in the box, or the never- been- used duplicate Junior League cookbook, or the not-your-color
silk scarf from the Metropolitan Museum of Art or that beautiful hand blown pitcher that’s more fanciful than
functional.
