Fundraising tip Tuesday: Hold a silent auction

Be creative and have fun while raising money for the Mandarin MS Walk! Here are some tips for setting up a successful silent auction:

Build a team to help you organize, manage and spread the word.
 
Find an accessible time and place for the event. Create a comfortable area, possibly with some food and drink for bidding guests.

Ask businesses in your community to donate items. How about fitness items, local art, gift cards or gift baskets?


Make sure to advertise for your event locally with flyers and online using free message or event boards.

You can also reach out to your local newspaper or radio station to see if they’d advertise your event for free.
 
Create some simple rules for the bidding process, such as minimum bids and the time-frame of the bidding.
