Auction Fundraiser

by Sophie

My sons local junior football team held a charity auction night. They asked county teams to donate prizes and received season tickets, singed footballs, team shirts and a VIP tour.

These were then auctioned off at the end of season awards night.

Another auction fundraiser is and 'action of promises'. This is where people donate time or skills, for example...

• An hours gardening


• Sports massage


• A days van hire


• Portrait painted


• Ironing


• Car valet

The promises are then auctioned off to the highest bidder.

Rob's Note:

Great ideas! Love the "Promise" items, excellent idea.

You could also look to run your Auction Online through Bidding For Good. I actually highly recommend it.

For anyone looking for books on running auctions you can find some excellent ones here.
