How do we keep our event accessible for the people we serve?

Events like your banquet or award dinner are built around inclusion. But a traditional auction often asks people to stand, move, or focus on a physical bid board. For families with mobility or sensory needs, that can shut them out of the giving. A mobile-friendly auction keeps everyone in the room, seated comfortably, and lets them bid from their phone. The experience should feel like the mission, not a separate event.

Auction packages for a shorter banquet or dinner don’t need a huge number of items. For a room of 100-200 guests, 8-12 experiences often work well. You choose from over 140 no-risk travel and event packages. There’s no cost to reserve them. You only pay for an experience if it sells, keep 100% over the cost, and can sell experiences multiple times if the bidding gets hot. You are not too late: items can be added the same day as your event.

This week, pick three to five bucket-list experiences that fit your families. Think sporting events like Formula 1 or the US Open, regional college football, or a trip to Napa. Reserve them free. Giveback XP sends the marketing materials. Your team adds them to the mobile bidding platform you already use. No one on your team or among your parents needs to donate big-ticket items. You only pay for what sells.

After the event, the winners handle their travel details directly with the travel team. Your organization keeps the profit from every sale. The evening felt seamless, and every family, including those with special needs, could participate fully. The auction didn’t just raise money; it reinforced your mission.
