What makes the Xi Wang Gala a success?
As you know, the annual Xi Wang Gala is our most successful fundraiser. It is a full week of raffles and online auction prizes, and it culminates in a dynamic dinner experience and live auction celebration.
Each year, the most interesting prizes are donated from our Hope families, staff, alumni, friends, and neighbors!
So we are putting this call out to our community to for Gala donations.
Here are some ideas:
We’ve seen it all…
SAT Coaching services, 4 hours of childcare, a private chef experience, you name it! Services make unique auction prizes, especially if they can be bundled with other donated items to make a themed auction basket! If you have an idea, email us at gala {at} hopeccs.org!
A popular option!
Let someone else take your spot at a game, concert, vacation home, etc. Or maybe you have season tickets to spare or unused air miles? These are always popular auction items.
Getting creative….
If you can host an event or offer a class or an experience, we can auction that off or sell a limited number of tickets! Click here for an explanation on how to offer an experience. You could offer a lesson for students of a certain age rage or host a wine tasting event for adults only. You can choose how it will look and when it will be!
Branch Out!
If your network reaches the stars, hook us up! For online auctions, like VIP Passes to big events, signed books from famous authors or brunch with a local celebrity would get a wider audience of people to join in the auction and support our school.
The best part about it is this:
Every time a person bids, every student at Hope wins. Different and interesting auction prizes are simply a fun incentive to encourage everyone to support our school and ensure we cover our operating expenses each year. We still have over $300K to raise this school year to reach our goal.
