Purse Auction
The purse auction has proved to be a very successful and popular fundraising
event! All money raised in the auction of your purse will be credited to your
team’s overall fundraising total.
How it works:
Your team will donate a purse AND an item(s) that fit inside of the purse for the auction. The purse is
emptied of its contents and switched with the contents of another purse so that no one knows what is
inside of the purse. The purses are placed on tables during the event for people to bid on. Previous
items donated in purses have included movie tickets, baseball tickets, restaurant gift cards, spa
treatments, and hotel accommodations. The sky is the limit as long as it fits inside of your purse! We ask
that the item or items within your purse total at least $25.
Forms will be available when you submit your purse donation inquiring about the brand of the purse,
the gifts provided inside, and the team that donated the purse. We must have the team name for the
donation in order to credit the money earned to the team’s total!
Silent Auction
Similar to the purse auction, the silent auction is another fun and exciting Relay fundraising event!
Again, all money raised in the auction of your donated item will be credited to your team’s overall
fundraising total.
How it works:
Individuals or teams will donate an appropriate item for the silent auction and people will bid on the
item. Previous items include hand crafted work including Relay themed items. Bidding for purse and
silent auction items will likely occur simultaneously in the same area. There is no minimum bid and no
limit to how high someone can bid!
Forms will be available when you submit your silent auction item. Please include your team name your
team can be credited for the money earned on the auction item!
