Children’s Hospitals & Pediatric Charities · Live Auctions
What trips work for a family-focused crowd?
For children’s hospital and pediatric charity galas, picking live auction packages that get couples and families bidding.
The families in your room picture themselves at major golf events, bucket-list sporting weekends, or top international spots like Ireland, Portugal, and Iceland. Formula 1 weekends sell. So do experiences couples can invite another family into. These are not solo escapes. They are trips people talk about over dinner, then bid on together.
The number of packages depends on your audience size and crowd. You pick experiences from over 140 options. No money upfront. You set a reserve, keep 100% over the cost, and can sell a hot package to two families if the bidding gets going. Recommended starting bid is 15 to 20 percent above cost, so you profit from the first raise.
Browse the catalog and reserve the trips that fit your room. You get a one-page display sheet per experience with photos, details, and videos when available. Items can be added the same day as your event. 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.
After your gala or radiothon, send the winners’ details to the Travel Team. They book the travel. Donors have up to two years to travel for non-event experiences. Your room leaves happy, your mission gets a lift, and families start planning the trip they won together.
