We work with universities and alumni associations all over the country.
Schools like Wichita State and Florida Tech University supplement their auctions with our experience packages.
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. You are not too late: items can be added the same day as your event.
We will send more than 3,000 donors on experiences in 2026.
