What Can You Donate?
Alongside the donations we receive from the community, we need individuals to donate items for the silent and live auction. There are endless possibilities here…
A ‘Girl’s Night In’ –
Three daring husbands offer to wait ‘hand and foot’ on 20 ladies. The men cook dinner, serve cocktails and clean up after - what more could you want?
Host a party - a simple cocktail hour in your home, or hors d’oevres on a boat, or a picnic in the woods… anything else your imagination can come up with…
We’d LOVE to have vacations to sell - do you know someone with a beach house or a time-share in Hawaii. Think about backpacking, sailing trips, road trips, ski weekends, fishing vacations, kayaking adventures, camping, flying, and sightseeing… Anyone know how to get hold of airline tickets? What about getting a cruise to Alaska? A trip to Disneyland would raise a fortune!
Are you a great cook? Food always sells, so how about donating a special cake, bread or cookies or even going to someone’s home to cook a gourmet meal.
Do you like Gardening? A few hours work in someone else’s yard is a real money-spinner.
What about those Seahawks / Sonics or tickets ?? Maybe you have Season tickets and would donate a game or two. Or a signed ball?
Know anyone who can get us tickets to the Opera or a Play? How about Gift Certificates for a meal or maybe you have connections with hotels in the Seattle/Portland/Vancouver or another vacation city and could get a room for the weekend? Gas Vouchers?
Can you donate your services? Graphic Design, Accounting, Hard Labor, Construction, Massage, Handyman, Housecleaning, Yard Services. Hair or Nail Beauty Care, Animal Sitting, House Sitting, Child Party Entertainment … the list is never-ending
Other items that are the mainstay of our auction are:
Art, Wine, Vacations, Cars, Makeovers, Kids Stuff, Animal toys and equipment, Jewelry, Sports Equipment, Specialty Food or other Gift Baskets…
The sky’s the limit. Let your imagination run wild. The animals at the Shelter will benefit from any or all that you do to make the auction a success.
