Browse ExperiencesContact Us
We work with animal shelters and rescues all over the country.
Shelters like Greater Huntsville Humane Society, Decatur and Macon County Animal Shelter Foundation, and Butte Humane Society supplement their auctions with our experience packages.
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.
- A humane society in Ohio sold Jackson Hole Summer Adventure 2 times at its March 2026 fundraising event.
- A June 2026 charity golf outing for an animal rescue organization in Illinois included 2 sales of Napa Valley Golf & Grapes Getaway and 1 sale of F1 Experience – Choose Your Race.

Pay only for sold items and keep 100% over the cost of the experience. Post-event, send us the winners’ details and our Travel Team will get your donors squared away.
What happens if we don’t sell an item?
You owe nothing for that experience. Zero.
Where should we start the bidding?

Can we sell multiples?
Yes, you can sell the same package multiple times if the bidding is hot, doubling and tripling your profit.
Will these experiences help us raise more money?
Yes, our experiences are designed to drive donor excitement and spark bidding frenzies.
Do you supply any marketing information?
Yes, we provide a 1-page PDF display with experience details, photos and videos when we have them. You will receive a marketing email once experiences are selected with helpful hints, pre and post event info.
How many experiences should we select for our event?
It depends on the number of people in the audience and your crowd. We can help you fine tune the right number of experiences for your event.
Do you handle the travel bookings and will you take care of our donors?
Yes, we book the experiences for your donors. We will send more than 3,000 donors on experiences in 2026.
How long does a donor have to travel?
Donors have up to 2 years to travel for non event-based experiences. For event-based experiences like Kentucky Derby, US Open, CMAs etc it is for that year’s event.
