Donate Auction Items
An Evening of Stars will include a live and silent auction, and we’re looking for donations of baskets, experiences, and items to auction off! Do you know of a restaurant that could offer a tasting experience? Do you or does someone you know own a second home or cabin that could offer a weekend or week-long stay? Would you like to put together a silent auction basket? We would love to hear from you! If you have a lead you’d like to share, please get in touch with Renee Anderson, Development Associate, at 952-767-7623 or Renee.Anderson@GildasClubMN.org.
