Have you thought about what your Paint the Town RED! Auction donation could be? Here are some great ideas!

  • Grab a friend or two and consider joining forces to amp up your donation ideas . . . These are fun ways to create community and give to DHHS!  
  • Fill a basket with themed items that would resonate with you: Coffee Break, Day at the Beach, Bourbon Lover, Cocktail Party, Wine Connoisseur, Favorite College Gear, Start Your Yoga Practice, Gorgeous Garden, . . . the possibilities are endless!
  • Put your cooking and decorating skills to great use. Team up with a friend to host a themed dinner party for 6 or 8: Italian, Indian, French, Mexican, vegetarian, etc...
  • Think of your favorite day out and about in the community and either buy or solicit gift cards or items from those businesses. A Day Out in Decatur, for example -- Coffee, Shopping at 3 stores, and Lunch at your favorite restaurant.
