Get Involved
There are several ways to participate in the Auction— whether you’re a sponsor, donor, or just love a great evening with good company.
Sponsor!
Our generous sponsors underwrite the costs of the event and ensure that all funds raised go directly to the hounds!
Donate!
The event includes a silent auction, live auction, wine pull, and gift card frenzy. Your donations are the key!
Items – The Silent Auction will include approximately 75 items for your bidding pleasure. One-of-a-kind basset treasures, race-themed goodies, experiences. Do you have something to contribute? Contact auction@suncoastbassetrescue.org
Gift Cards – We need approximately 30 gift cards in denominations of $25+. These should appeal to a FL-wide audience, so restaurants or stores with state-wide locations are best. Please mail them to: 855 State Road 559 – #144, Auburndale, FL 33823
Wine/Spirits – Do you have a connection in the beverage industry? The wine pull is a spirited event where you purchase a chance to pull a bottle blind. You never know what drinkable treasure awaits!
We need contributions of wine/spirits with a retail value of $20 or more. You can either donate actual bottles or send $ and we’ll do the shopping for you. Contact auction@suncoastbassetresue.org
