What do the Bombers, the New York Giants, the Seattle Sonics, and the Seattle Storm all have in common? They are all represented at the Bursar's Benefit Auction, of course! Read on to discover what our next round of goodies for you includes ...
Seattle Storm All-Star and reigning WNBA MVP Lauren Jackson has sent us a beautiful autographed photo. Not to be outdone by his fellow Seattle athlete, Sonics guard Earl Watson has also sent an autographed photo!
As mentioned in an earlier announcement, Super Bowl veteran Samuel Madison of the New York Giants gave us a lovely autographed photo as well, accompanied by a certificate of authenticity! Sweet!
When you think of sports, no team is as important as our very own Bombers! We have an incredible canvas Bombers bag for you that's chock full of Bombers gear: decals for your cars, shirts, hats, a water bottle ... this bag has it all! There is also a beautiful Bombers vest to keep you warm while you cheer on your favorite Bombers athletes! It's a GREAT day to be a Bomber!
After a long day in the cold, cheering on your favorite teams, be sure to take full advantage of our Spa Basket, which includes all sorts of things to pamper yourself with AND also includes a massage! Relax in your new glider rocker as you feast on your homemade gourmet apple pie and sip some of the Gimme coffee you got with your gift certificate! We're all about creature comforts!
There is only two weeks left until the auction. How is your stash of bidding money coming along? You haven't let on to your friends what items you're after, have you? They can't be trusted! Rumor has it they have intricate maps of the best route around the silent auction and have been doing arm exercises to improve their live auction bidding power!
The Bursar's Benefit Auction, brought to you by Student Financial Services (formerly the Offices of the Bursar and Financial Aid) will be held on Wednesday, April 2, in the Clark Lounge in Campus Center. The silent auction will run from 10:00 a.m. to noon, followed by the live auction from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. Sam and Duane, our illustrious auctioneers, are already deep in practice, polishing up their routines! All proceeds from our auction will go to Cayuga Addiction Recovery Services (CARS) and Southside Community Center.
Last, but certainly not least, don't forget to buy your raffle tickets! We have four raffles: 50/50 Raffle, Money Tree Raffle, Gift Card Raffle, and Chocolate Basket Raffle. Tickets to all are $1 for 1, $3 for 5, and $10 for 20 -- what a deal!
We will be selling tickets this Friday, next Monday, Tuesday, and Friday, and Monday and Tuesday of the following week. Come and see the things you can win for just a few bucks worth of tickets ... or, as we say in Auction Headquarters, "Just a buck to try your luck. Try a ten to increase your win!"
Thanks for your support, and good luck with your bidding!
