The largest percentage of money raised each year comes from our Charity Auction, but it needs your help to maintain that success. If you have not attended the Elk Toss before, you should know that the auction works by having you bring items to donate to be auctioned. The problem in previous years is that some people bring stuff to auction which nobody else would actually want to buy. If we can get more quality items and less junk, we can raise more money with a shorter auction. If you have a particularly good item,
email us, and maybe we will add it to the silent auction items.
Some of the items that have worked well in previous auctions include:
- Adult Beverages - particularly homemade, homebrewed, or rare beverages
- Gift Certificates and Merchandise from businesses in Danville, State College, or Lancaster
- Quality Artwork
- Clothing
- Musical Recordings - particularly bootlegs or other rare collections
- Memorabilia - sports, music, etc
Bring along any Christmas gifts that you know you will never use or wear, or the item cannot be returned to the store. If you think that someone else might like it, bring it along.
Also, do not bring any illegal or dangerous items to the auction. If you are not sure whether something is illegal, feel free to
email us.
We just want to remind you to begin gathering auction items early, so that you have time to collect the good stuff.
