2. Donate something to the Silent Auction or Gift Basket
We’d like to receive about 20-30 donations of items that are clearly worth at least $100 or more and the bidding will start at $50. Ideally we will receive items worthy of starting the bidding at $100. Here are some ideas for donations to the Silent Auction: Works of Art: Paintings/Sculpture/Jewelry etc: these should be clearly worth hundreds of dollars. Vacation Homes for a weekend or a week: donate the use of a house or a city apartment that would clearly get hundreds or thousands on the open market. Professional services ($200 to $1000 gift certificate) for a dentist/doctor, legal, accounting, music or voice lessons, HVAC, roofing, painting, recording, video production, landscaping, gardening, (use your imagination) – here you are donating your time. Frequent flyer miles: donate enough for a round trip ticket.We’ve already received a donation for two round trip tickets anywhere on American Airlines; bidding will start at $500 for both. Last year this donation raised $2400. A Private Concert: Do you perform professionally? Are you in demand? Donate a house concert. An instrument in good to excellent condition that is clearly worth a few hundred to a few thousand dollars. Do You Know a Famous Person?: Ask them to donate time - a lunch or dinner date - or donate an instrument. Donations to the Gift Basket would be all the items that are too inexpensive to be a separate silent auction item. They will be grouped together as a giant “Gift Basket” and one person will win it via a raffle tickets. Here are some ideas: CDs, DVDs, Tickets to Shows/Musical Events, jewelry/photos/works of art that are less expensive, gift certificates for $25 to $50, services worth up to $75. 3. Simply make a tax-deductible donation Online to:
MUSIC FOR HUMANITY PO Box 359, Chester NY 10918 . 100% of the Items Auctioned, the Gift Basket & All Profits Go To Music Scholarships for Children Who want to Continue Their Education but Need Financial Help
Donations must for the auction or gift basket must be received by October 10th to be listed in the program. Thanks for your help on any level. For donations to the silent auction or gift basket please contact my wife, Linda Borghi: Sincerely, Barry Adelman 845-469-0900 We expect a sold out show of 200 people. Depending on the donations received MFH reserves the right to make the final decision on whether an item is part of the Silent Auction or part of the Gift Basket. MFH is a 501-c-3 Charity and has no paid staff – we are all volunteers because we love to make positive change via music. Thanks for your support.
