Support the VBR Foundation Scholarship Program!
It's the holiday season, and the Vail Board of Realtors®️ Foundation is planning an online fundraiser to support its Annual Academic Scholarship Fund.

We will auction off gift baskets for charity - each with its own special theme.

100% of the funds raised for this event go to students receiving scholarships!

Get in the spirit of the holidays by entering a gift basket into the online auction, or support the scholarship fund by donating online.
CREATE A BASKET
Each individual office – not company – is invited to participate by creating a special silent auction gift basket. Come up with a theme and build your gift basket to be the best one!

The winning office receives a $250 gift certificate for the lunch of choice!
Last year's winner was the "Broker's 'Oh Sh*t' Survival Kit" submitted by Slifer Smith and Frampton - Bridge Street. The more creative and unique, the better.

A few basket ideas:
  • Pampering Spa Basket
  • Gift basket for Wine Lovers
  • Sports Enthusiast’s package with primo tickets and lodging
  • Home Improvement basket
  • Dog Lover's basket
  • Foodie's Feast with restaurant gift certificates
This year has been very challenging for businesses in our community, so we propose that you support local businesses by purchasing gift cards or items for your basket. Share with them that you are participating in the VBR Foundation fundraiser and see if they are willing to match your purchase.

Deadline to submit baskets (to be displayed online) is Monday, November 30.

  • Send your basket information to mel@vbr.net. Include the theme, a picture of your basket, and describe the content of what is in the basket.
  • Silent Auction is online from December 1 through 8. Stay tuned!
Please contact Mel at mel@vbr.net or Erica at ekirk@vbr.net with questions.
DONATE ONLINE
Too busy to participate with a gift basket, but still want to show your support? You can contribute online to the VBR Foundation's Scholarship Fund!

All donations directly benefit the Scholarship Fund, and you can help cover the processing fees (which means more $$ benefits the Fund!).
PLACE A BID
The Online Silent Auction will launch on Tuesday, December 1.

Purchase all your holiday gifts through the Auction this year!
