NCBTA’s 2009 Holiday Gala Silent Auction Needs Your Help!
Silent Auction proceeds fund our charity of the year. The Holiday Gala Committee has committed themselves and our organization to break the current record of $7,000! We cannot meet this goal without your help! We are asking our members to dig deep into your pockets and donate an item, gift certificate or service…nothing will be refused. However, please be creative and ask yourself the following questions:
“How much will this donation raise for our charity?”
“Does this donation represent my employer and our industry well?”
“Will my employer financially match a personal donation?”
“Is this donation something I would bid on?”
Who is our charity this year?
Second Harvest Heartland is the Upper Midwest’s largest hunger-relief organization,striving to end hunger through community partnerships. They form the backbone of organizations working together to efficiently alleviate hunger in 59 counties throughout Minnesota and Western Wisconsin. Second Harvest Heartland operates the fifth largest food bank in the United States, helping feed 77% of the hungry in our area.
