Can we auction a pet-friendly trip?

Your donor base gives with heart. They show up for fur balls and mid-range galas because the cause is personal. When a travel package hits the block, the first question in the room is often the same: can the dog come? The good news is you do not have to choose. You carry a couple of packages, some built for human getaways and some built for how your crowd actually travels.

What this takes is simple. You browse over 140 experiences. You pick what fits your night, whether that is a Formula 1 weekend, a golf trip to Ireland, or a beach rental that welcomes pets. You reserve it for free and get a one-page display PDF. Nothing is bought upfront. Nothing is owed on an unsold item. Recommended starting bid is 15 to 20 percent above cost, so profit starts with the first hand up.

Your next step this week is to call or email and talk through your room size and audience. Giveback XP helps you choose the right number of packages for a shorter banquet program. You can add items the same day as the event if you see a gap. And if a package sells hot, you can let it sell again, right there in the room, doubling what the animals keep.

On the other side, winners get a certificate and a travel team that handles the booking. They have up to two years to travel for most trips. Your committee gets a night where the auction feels right for the people in the seats. No risk, no leftover inventory, just money over the reserve going straight to the shelter.
