Call for Auction Items -
DATELINE: MARSHFIELD, MA… The Boys and Girls Club of Marshfield has put out the call for Auction items for their annual Gala and Auction which will be held on March 7, 2009 at the Indian Pond Country Club in Kingston.
Approximately 350 people are expected to attend this year’s dazzling Gala and Auction which celebrates the fifth anniversary of the Boys and Girls Club of Marshfield and also serves as a major fundraiser. Donations are needed for the Silent and Live Auctions, which will be held during the evening of the Gala and an Online Auction, which will be held in advance of the Gala.
Donations of sports memorabilia or tickets to major sporting events; musical performances and stage shows are always popular with auction bidders. Exciting donations that create an auction “buzz” may include an all-inclusive vacation cruise; a kitchen makeover; a new car, boat or other watercraft and a plasma TV. Services, such as a year’s worth of weekly house cleaning or exterior and interior painting make great auction donations as does an annual membership to a fitness center/health club.
At last year’s Evening Under the Stars Gala and Auction, more than $40,000 was raised in support of programs for more than 4,000 youths in the area.
“We’re very excited about this event and we anticipate a good response to our call for auction items. We’re including an Online Auction to give folks who may not be able to attend the Gala, an opportunity to bid on and potentially come away with some really terrific prizes,” noted Greg Jackson, Executive Director of the Boys and Girls Club.
