Rotary District 7770 is hosting an Online Interactive Auction to benefit Polio & Local Rotary Causes. This fundraising event is modeled after the annual online auction from the Hilton Head VanLandingham Club, which has helped raise more than $1,000,000 for Rotary benefactors.
Individual Rotarians are challenged to provide an item in value of at least $100 for the online auction. Certificates such as health, beauty, auto services, sporting events, restaurants, home goods, accommodations, golf, personal & professional services all sell very well.
We can have fun with this…think of fun local events or activities that we enjoy, a service you can provide or pick a vendor that you frequent and ask for a donation, such as a favorite restaurant or spa. The Bluffton Rotary Club will donate 4 Oyster Roast tickets for the auction.
We are hoping for 100% Club participation. 75% of the money raised from Bluffton Rotarians will be dedicated to Polio and 25% will return to the club, for local donations. We will collect and ship any items from the Bluffton Rotary Club.
Items will be collected until early November. The online auction preview opens November 9 and bidding will occur November 14 – 18. Data for all offers will be input into the auction online system, along with a complete description, photo, logo and a link to the donor’s website, so viewers can click for more information. Sponsorships will also be available. It is expected that the auction will exceed 4,000 unique visitors, providing a high level of visibility & branding to businesses across South Carolina.
This is a great way to do something good for Polio and our club, while also providing marketing for your business or a local business. Let’s get our thinking hats on and submit some great donations! Thanks for your support!
