I'm thinking out loud here, so please bare with me. I'd love any other ideas or suggestions you guys may have.
I have a past host who is close friends with a mom whose daughter has cancer and is undergoing major treatments. They are doing an online auction on their blog and have asked people to donate things or bid. I was thinking of donating something, but I'm not sure what to do. I have some things on hand that I could put together. I can take a photo of it and they can add it to the blog. I will be responsible for shipping it to the winner.
Do you think it's best to just donate things I already own and pay for the shipping when it's time? Or should I buy something new and put it on my small catalog show I'm throwing together w/ Christmas gifts I'm getting for people this year (teachers, etc.) and have it direct shipped to the winner when it gets announced on the 20th? Or buy something now on this catalog show and get it submitted by the 15th so it can go towards earning the apron, and then ship it later.
This is a donation, so I'm just not sure how much to spend and I also want to make sure I'm doing it the simplest way.
My other question is, what do you think would be a great thing to donate for a raffle basket? Because I'm also doing one for my daughter's dance team. They are doing a Christmas show as a fundraiser in conjunction with a raffle of prizes to raise money for Make a Wish foundation. I'm torn on what would be a big draw for people. For the dance school, people pay for tickets and drop how ever many tickets they want to enter in the box for the drawing. But the Kash for Kami (little girl w/ cancer), I want lots of people to want it to make their bids go high.
