YOU CAN HELP! - Donate Auction Items:
As a donor, you show your support for PARC. This year we have made donating even easier. Use our Auction Procurement Form to submit an auction item to the 2007 Arts in the PARC auction benefit or contact, Sibylle LaHood at (309) 689-3608.
We accept a variety of items, including restaurant gift certificates, retail gift cards, sports memorabilia, sporting goods, wine, gift baskets, jewelry, travel packages, artwork, etc. Donors are encouraged to "think out of the box" and get creative with their ideas. Here are some ideas to get the creative juices flowing...
~ Host a “Cooks Night In” - wouldn't it be fantastic to have a group of daring chefs offer to wait 'hand and foot' on a group of deserving diners. They could plan and prepare appetizers and dinner, serve cocktails, and clean up after - what more could anyone want.
~Do you like gardening? A few hours work in someone else’s yard is a great auction item.
~Do you have access to a scenic location to host a picnic or party?
~We’d LOVE to have some vacation packages to sell. ~Do you have a vacation home or beach house to donate for a week vacation? ~Think about sailing trips, road trips, ski weekends, fishing vacations, kayaking adventures, flying, sightseeing, etc. Perhaps you know how to get hold of airline tickets or a cruise to the Caribbean. ~A trip to Disneyland would be a family favorite! Maybe you have hotel connections.
~ Medical services are a popular item. ~ Botox from a local dematologist ~ Lasik eye surgery ~ dental services.
~ Are you the premier "Santa" at the holiday season. Why not offer to have Santa make a personal appearance.
~ Have a pool? Host a pool party.
~ Perhaps you are a seamstress or tailor extraordinare. ~ You could provide a custom made outfit or Halloween costume.
~ Art and Photography are always a big hit. ~ A photo portrait or painted murial are great auction items.
~ Light on your toes, off free dance classes.
~Sports related items are another great event draw. ~ Do you have special access to a sporting event or club - a box seat perhaps? Or access to a meet and greet with players or a special autograph signing?
~ Bring some culture into the mix. ~ Can you get us tickets to the Opera, a theatre performance, or concert?
~Perhaps you can donate services. ~ Graphic Design ~Veterinary Expertise ~ Construction ~ Spa Services.
~ YOUR IDEA HERE!
