Today,
we are proud to announce that our newest fundraising platform “Paying It
Forward Fundraising” is launching in Twin Falls Idaho in several locations
across the city. The auctions benefit
the United Way, the Boys & Girls Club and the Boy Scouts of Twin Falls.
What
is “Paying It Forward Fundraising”? Over
the past several years, many people have come to me and said that we should
start placing Silent Auctions in restaurants, hotels and businesses. But, due to our rapidly expanding company and
time being a very precious commodity; we weren’t in a position to move forward
with it.
However,
recently, I met a fantastic family who are from Utah & Idaho – The Pierce’s. After meeting with Brad Peirce, I could see
the fire and passion in his eyes to help our company help charities all across
North America. He quickly began to help
charities in Idaho and wanted to learn more.
I was then introduced to his family.
They too wanted to help and were passionate about doing whatever they
could to be a part of our company. There
was no better group of fine, good hearted people to help launch this platform
across the United States.
“Paying
It Forward Fundraising” allows charities and businesses to set up a Silent
Auction with the “Buy It Now” ability in restaurants, hotels, businesses
etc. The charity or business owner sets
the margin or profit percentage above the cost to nonprofit. There is absolutely no cost that the charity
or business incurs nor do they have to do anything but provide wall space.
All
the charity or business owner should do, but does not have to, is to promote
the Silent Auction. Since it benefits
our charity partners, the charity should promote the Silent Auction to their
supporters and through the Social Networks.
That’s it.
The
“Paying It Forward Fundraising” Auction will be set up for at least two (2)
weeks. Our staff will monitor and
collect the bid sheets, contact the buyers, process the payments and ship out
the items to all the winning bidders.
100% of the proceeds then go directly to the charity.
If
a Business Owner would like to help a local charity, they tell us who the local
charity is so that we can post it on the notice which is beside the
auction. At the end of each auction, our
staff will present a large check with the proceeds written on it in the name of
the selected charity. This is an excellent
opportunity for businesses to help their local community. They can Press Release their efforts and post
photos of the check presentation to the charity on the social networks and in
local news.
The
auctions carry a wide array of Décor items ranging from Sports, Celebrity,
Historical and Music while also offering incredible Travel & Vacation
Packages. The auctions give your guests
and those visiting your business a sense of satisfaction knowing they are
helping a local charity while also having the ability to purchase an item that
is not sold at retail anywhere.
