**************************************

In addition to the silent auction donations, we are once again asking each Child Support Agency to donate ONE item (wrapped) for the “Mystery Baskets”.

The size and cost of your mystery donation is up to each Child Support Agency.

Mystery Baskets include several individually wrapped mystery gift donations!

Tickets will be sold for $5 each; 5 for $20; or 10 for $40.

All proceeds from the silent auction donations and tickets sold for the “Mystery Basket” items will be donated to

End Domestic Abuse Wisconsin.

**************************************

We always set our goals high – and are hoping to increase our charitable contribution from our previous 2019 Campaign where we presented $8,322.25 to Food For Thought Initiative.

**************************************

If you are considering a donation for the silent auction, here are a few details:

  1. Donations can be a basket, box, wheel barrel, truck full, or standalone item.

  2. Donators should create an Announcement or Display of your donation.

    • Be sure to clearly write the estimated value of the donation on your announcement and list the items in your basket.

  3. Send an email to Becky Fry with the title and description of your donation prior to the Fall Conference so that we can ensure there is room for all donations.

    • We also use this information to make the Bid Sheets.

  4. Baskets with a value over $200.00 will have a beginning bidding amount. Beginning bidding amount will be determined based on the basket value.
