Favorite Auction Item in Q1: Private Costa Rica Villa. This experience has been on fire and raised a lot of money for clients in Q1. An organization in Cleveland sold it 2x on Saturday night and made $28,000 profit on this ONE experience!
16th Hole Skybox at WMO: We sent close to 100 donors in 2022. It was a big seller and many organizations are asking for it again in 2023. The current issue is Super Bowl LVII is in Phoenix at the same time – likely the greatest sports weekend ever! We are not exactly sure when we will have the details for 2023. If you would like to be put on the wait list, please email me. Tickets WILL go quickly.
We have 150+ experiences to offer your donors. You only pay for an item if it sells, keep 100% over the cost and can sell experiences multiple times.
