Great Donations Make Great Auctions:
The success of our annual MPAEF Auction depends on local businesses and families like yours! We’re looking for exclusive, one-of-a-kind auction lots, experiences that money usually can’t buy. Think:
🎟️ VIP passes or tickets to sold-out shows or sporting events (Valkyries, anyone??)
🏢 Behind-the-scenes tour with an industry leader or sports icon 🏅
🏡 Vacation home stays and weekend getaways
🎉 Hosted parties, tickets to games or cultural events, gift cards, and more!
If you can offer exciting experiences, fun items, or unique access to people or events, we’d love to include them in the MPAEF auction.
