Searching Silent Auction Donations

Each spring IACAC holds a silent auction and basket raffle during its annual conference to help raise funds to support our educational programs.

We are still SEARCHING for donations!

With the 2014 conference less than four weeks away, the committee is hard at work soliciting donations from various industries throughout the great state of Illinois.

As we attempt to exceed the amount raised in 2013, we would like to request your assistance with the following:

• Donate a small item (bottle of wine, gift card or anything you can think of!) that you might not be using anytime soon
• Reach out to your place of employment, a local business or organization to see if they would be willing to donate a gift card, gift basket or a donation of services
• Put together a basket of swag to promote your University, college town, athletic conference, etc.
• Some ideas:
  • A college mug + a $5 Starbucks Gift Card
  • Wine from a winery near your college
  • Game day or theatre tickets
• Let us know about your donation(s) or basket

We appreciate your efforts in making 2014 a banner year for IACAC!
