Donate Prizes

 

Our annual golf and gala fundraisers usually include raffle drawings and/or silent auctions.  We are always on the lookout for prizes that can enhance the participation in these events.  Donating prizes can be particularly helpful for small and large businesses alike as it enhances the brand of the business within the community.  Winners get to sample your product or service and could become repeat customers.  Silent auction winners by definition will place a high value on the prize that you offer.

 

Prizes that work well in this format include:

 

  • Travel prizes such as airfare, cruises, hotel stays, and/or a block of time in a vacation home
  • Restaurant gift certificates (pair it with a car service for a really special night!)
  • Themed gift baskets (e.g. wine, beer, coffee & tea, food, fitness, etc.)
  • Service gift certificates (e.g. house cleaning, massage therapy, hair care, landscaping, decorating, car detailing, etc.)
  • Sports memorabilia and collectibles (particularly Pittsburgh teams)
  • Tickets to sporting and other entertainment events (private boxes are even better!)
  • Participation sports packages (e.g. golf or tennis at a nice club, fishing trip, whitewater rafting, etc.)
  • Golf-themed items for the golf tournament (e.g. golf balls, towels, clubs, bags, etc...feel free to add your company logo!)
  • Anything else you think may help us raise money.  We'll take just about anything!!

 

Please call or e-mail if you are interested in donating an item.  We will acknowledge your donation in writing.
