Family Reunion Auctions

Family reunion auctions are fast becoming the way to raise money for the next years event. Fund raising in general is usually combined with another event, like a banquet,cookout, or charity. So extending that to your needs is a logical next step.

Many families hold one every year or so in order to keep in touch and visit with their loved ones. Auctions are a great way to raise money for the facilities and food.

Family members donate items or services for the event and bring them to the family reunion to auction off for the next years fund.

These items can be white elephant gifts or home made gifts. It doesn't matter. The family decides on the types of gifts in advance.

If you paint, make jewelry or have any hobby, you can probably

These auctions are a great way to raise money because the reunion is going to cost family members no matter which way you raise the money ,and with the auction they get something for their money besides the reunion.

The auction is also a form of entertainment for your family group. If you don't have anyone that is willing to stand up and auction the items off, then lay everything out on tables with bidding paper by each and have a silent auction.

Raising money for reunions with silent auctions is great but I feel like the live auctions will bring more money for each item.

Have each member of your family fill out an index card with a description of the item and any facts the auctioneer or prospective bidder will want to know. These cards will be used by the auctioneer or layed beside the silent auction piece for information.

One you start family reunion auctions to raise money you will be addicted to it and look forward to it each and every year. Have fun and be creative.
