Auction Catalog

Enjoy Yourself! Here is where you can include a quick message to your guests about the event, your organization and how the proceeds from these auction items will go

directly to benefiting your cause.

 

 

Welcome!

Dear Friends,

Welcome to the Event Name Gala! You can start this letter by talking about outpouring of support for your cause. This welcome letter can come from your executive director, development director or auction chair.

This is your opportunity to talk about the level of impact your organization has had. You can mention major accomplishments or share some goals you’ve established for the future. Be sure to share a specific example of how individual donations have helped you achieve your cause.

The objective is to make donors and their guests (potential donors!) feel like they're part of something bigger than themselves. Donors who feel like they're actually making a difference are more likely going to contribute more money during the event.

Thank everyone profusely for attending and supporting your mission and your organization. If it weren’t for them – you wouldn’t be able to do what you do!

This night is about the cause – but it’s also about showing your appreciation to your incredibly amazing donors who help make your philanthropic mission a reality.

Thank them again and remind them to have fun!

Cheers,

Hanna Caresalot Executive Director

Auction Rules & Procedures This is where you can include information about how the auction is going to be run during the event. If you are wondering what to put here, consider guests who are attending a live auction for the first time. How do you place a bid? What does it mean when you place a bid? If I win an item, how do I pay for it and redeem it?

Introducing Our Auctioneer: John Laughsalot If you have a benefit auctioneer presenting your live auction items, this is a great place to introduce him or her and provide a little background info or certifications – such as a Benefit Auctioneer Specialist (BAS) designation from the National Auctioneers Association.

The auctioneer will appreciate the extra promotion and it will add further credibility to your event.

Live Auction Here is where you can put a few lines encouraging your audience to participate in the live auction. Remind them to have fun and that

all proceeds are going to a great cause.
