Are there accessible travel packages we can auction?

Many travel packages look great on a display sheet but fall apart for families who need specific booking windows, accessible transfers, or rooms that actually work. Your community includes parents, athletes, and supporters who know the difference between surface-level ‘accessible’ and a trip coordinated by people who understand the details. That gap is why standard auction items can feel like a gamble you would rather not take.

These experiences are offered on consignment. You select what fits your room and your crowd from over 140 options. Recommended starting bids sit 15 to 20 percent above the internal cost, so profit is built in from the first bid. You only pay for an experience if it sells, keep 100 percent 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.

The difference is the in-house travel team. When a paddle goes down, you send the winner’s details to Giveback XP. From there, a real coordinator handles the booking, the accessibility needs, and the timing. Your winning family gets a direct contact who manages everything from narrow booking windows to mobility requirements. You are never out on a limb negotiating hotel policies or explaining a certificate’s fine print.

After the gala, your organization has added no-risk profit to the night. Winning families have a trip planned with someone who took their needs seriously. Your committee has one less worry and a solid option to bring back next year.
