19th Annual Hollywood’s Big Night Gala 2009
Sunday, February 22, at the Inn at Spanish Bay, Pebble Beach
- Our online auction will be hosted by cMarket, the leading online auction platform solely for organizations engaged in fundraising for nonprofit causes. You may experience cMarket at www.BiddingForGood.com where we will have our own page.
- You and your business will get exposure that is way beyond the normal ‘attendees only’ exposure afforded by most nonprofit fundraisers. People who are not attending will be able to make bids up until 4:00 p.m., PST, February 20, 2009.
- You will reach a national and international audience of over 100,000 registered bidders during the three-week period of February 2- 20.
- This online auction enables us to provide donors like you with a valuable platform for visibility within our community as well as globally. You’ll be featured on the auction home page, in weekly e-mail alerts, and in the online catalog where we will include a logo or a link to your own website.
- Greater interest in your products/services because we’re sending out numerous weekly e-mail communications and using other powerful promotional vehicles to encourage our member’s participation and support in spreading the word about the auction.
- Leadership recognition through your willingness to participate in an innovative kind of auction that reaches beyond a physical event and membership lists.
- Between February 2- 20, we will send weekly emails to all of our supporters and potential bidders. These will include your business name, link to your website and items or services you are offering.
- On February 20, we will close the online auction at 4:00 p.m., PST. The highest online bidding price for select items will serve as a "floor" for bidding on such items at the silent auction on February 22.
- On February 22, at the Inn at Spanish Bay, we will hold our silent auction. A few select items will only be made available to our Big Night attendees, while other items will be made available at a starting price determined by the online auction bidding process.
- Winners will be announced at 10:00 a.m. on Tuesday, February 24. Winners will be notified by email. Winners must pay for their items by noon, PST, on Friday, February 27 or they will be forfeited.
