What do we auction this year that isn't the same baskets and gift certificates?
Golf travel packages for Rotary, Lions, civic clubs, and Chambers of Commerce auctions that members actually bid on.
Every year, your Rotary, Lions, civic club, or Chamber of Commerce runs a golf outing fundraiser. The auction table is the same: gift baskets, local restaurant certificates, maybe a themed basket if someone got creative. You want something that makes people look up from their phones, something that adds a real trip to the bid sheet.
Your golf outing is a trusted event, but the auction can feel stuck. Members who are local business people see the same baskets and gift certificates each year. They are generous, but they want a reason to bid that matches the night's energy. A golf travel package gives them a prize they actually want to win. It adds a destination to the bid sheet, not just another item. In a room full of business owners, a trip to a top golf resort gets attention.
Adding a golf trip costs nothing upfront. 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. Choose a starting bid 15-20% above the package cost, and profit starts with the first bid. If it does not sell, you owe nothing. You are not too late: items can be added the same day as your event. Marketing materials come with the package, so you can show it off in your auction catalog or on mobile bidding.
Go to Giveback XP and look at golf travel packages. You can pick one that fits your members: a weekend at a well-known course, a trip to watch a major tournament. Reserve it for free, get the marketing PDF, and add it to your auction any time, even the morning of the event. The travel team handles all winner bookings, and your club keeps the profit. There is no risk, no upfront cost, and no obligation if it does not sell. It works for live and silent auctions alike.
Your auction has a real trip that gets people talking. Members bid on something they want, and the club raises more money. The night feels fresh, and next year's chair has a new standard to beat. The trip is handled by professionals, and your club did it without any upfront cost. It is a simple way to add something new to your annual fundraiser, and it fits right into your existing event.
