Service Clubs such as Rotary, Sertoma, Kiwanis and Civitan Clubs have used our fund raising for non-profit group services on an annual basis. Some have had auctions twenty times. These events get bigger and better each year and the non-profit fund raising ideas keep flowing. One chairperson recently said that it was interesting to watch the next generation attending and purchasing art.
A favorite program of many of these clubs is the Fifteen Year Exchange Privilege. When people redecorate, move into a new home or just decide on a change, they are able to return their purchases and exchange their purchase dollar for dollar for something new. The exchange is allowed at our gallery or at a future auction. It doesn’t get any better than that.
Many hospital groups like auxiliaries, spouse’s clubs and pink ladies have conducted events to support the purchasing of artwork and other decorative items to dress up the environment of the hospital. They also use the funds for newborn baby blankets, car seats, diaper bags filled with goodies, landscaping gardens and expensive equipment that is not in the budget.
Police Athletic Leagues – PALS have conducted extremely successful events. They use the art auction as a vehicle to earn even more funds by using donated silent auction items, selling advertisements for the auction catalog and having patron programs.
Boys and Girls Clubs have benefited from our non-profit fund raising ideas and programs all over the country. Being such a high profile and well known non-profit organization, the event gets the attention of the entire surrounding community. Using each member of the organization’s circle of influence, they are also able to broaden the interest to areas well beyond just the surrounding community.
