Need ideas?
- Donate items as an individual or as a group. Pooling resources can buy bigger items.
- Do you like to golf? Paint? Go to your cabin? Think about donating a basket of golf equipment, a masterpiece you've created, or perhaps a weekend use of your cabin.
- Solicit items for the auction from within your network. Restaurant, business, theater connections? Gift cards and gift baskets are a big draw.
- A pair of tickets to a sporting event, a play, a concert or museum can be golden tickets.
- Are you a gourmet cook? Host a party for the winner and 5 of their friends.
- Offer a service like cleaning the winner’s house or detailing their car.
- Do you have a hobby? Host a DIY party and teach your skill to others.
- People love to bid on things they can’t find anywhere else. Be creative to create counter bidding and ‘fun’ to raising money for scholarships.
Come join the fun!
Mark your calendars and plan on attending the ESP Silent Auction held in conjunction with our
