Auction
In order to help me raise the money I need, certain individuals and/or organisations have been extremely generous and donated some fantastic prizes which I am happy to offer to you in my silent auction.
A silent auction you say? What’s that then?
Well. Here are a list of items I have for you to bid on. All you need to do is decide which of them you want to win and send me an email with the top amount you’d pay for that prize. On the closing date, the 3rd October, whoever has offered me the most for each item wins it (obviously after they pay for it)!
Have a look at the amazing offers below and send in your bids to me at mike @ shootingorchids.co.uk. The proceeds all go towards my Kilimanjaro fundraising total, so if you don’t fancy any of these prizes but would like to sponsor me anyway, please do so on JustGiving, thanks!
