There's a lunch with Zach Thomas in there for anyone with the cash. Other ' experience' type lots and a load of signed footballs, mini helmets, etc. Pretty cool.
Exactly - if you have the cash. While I'm all in favour of organisations raising money for charidee, I see events like this as being exclusive to those with the most disposable income. I would imagine that not many folk could afford to pay a couple of thousand bucks on a signed shirt but quite a lot of folk would actually like one if it was within their price range. I've always thought that it would be good to run a raffle alongside these auctions where the common or garden proletariat, like myself, could have a chance at bagging a decent item for a few bucks and not feel excluded, while at the same time contributing to the fund raising efforts.
There are several gift cards in there for hotels, local restaurants, etc. that will end up being a really good value. For example, one trending restaurant had a $500 gift card starting at $100 and there were no bids on it. For you South Floridians that like eating out, it would pay to keep an eye on those and cashing in.
Yes. I used to work in radio/media and there would be lots of fund-raisers. The bottom line is that fund-raising naturally targets those with the most funds, particularly via auctions. A raffle is an interesting idea, maybe someone with a line in to Mr. Garfinkel should drop in a word.
Specific items with no bids: https://one.bidpal.net/finsweekend/browse/noBids There's a Cam Wake mini helmet, and a Reshad Jones mini helmet, each for $150. Man I wish I had the spare cash lying around. Tannehill Blaze mini helmet at $175.
Shark tagging trip and a Dolphin/Snorkelling trip. I need to move to Miami. Maybe I should start a GoFundMe.
