How do we get auction items when the same local businesses are asked every year?
If your disease research or patient charity runs a golf outing, consignment travel experiences fill the auction — no new donation asks, no tapped-out businesses.
Your disease research or patient charity golf outing needs strong auction items. But by gala season, every walk committee and relay team in town has already hit up the same restaurants, shops, and services. The relationships are tired, and you can't keep going back.
When a disease research or patient charity runs a golf outing, the auction is a key revenue driver. But the same local businesses get asked by every walk, run, and gala committee. By the time you ask, they've already given multiple times. You end up with fewer items, smaller values, and awkward conversations.
Consignment travel and experience packages cost nothing upfront. You choose from over 140 experiences like Formula 1, the Kentucky Derby, the US Open, Napa, and top international destinations. You set the starting bid 15–20% above the reserve, so you profit from the first bid. Most packages sell 30 to 50 percent above cost. You only pay for an experience if it sells, keep 100% over the cost, and can sell experiences multiple times if the bidding gets hot.
This week, reserve a few packages that fit your golfers. You are not too late: items can be added the same day as your event. Browse the Giveback XP catalog, get a one-page PDF display for each, and use the marketing support. Save your business relationships for sponsorships, where they matter more.
Your catalog is full of trips people actually want to win. Bidding is strong, the room is engaged, and you've protected your local relationships. The event raises more, and the donation-ask season is over.
