Each family is required to donate a basket for the silent auction. The value of each basket should be a minimum of $50/family. The silent auction has historically been a large portion of the fundraising efforts for Springfest so we ask all families to be creative and put baskets together that will aid in reaching our fundraising goal.
Please note that baskets do not actually have to be baskets, families can use coolers, buckets, storage bins, or other items that may be applicable to your "basket" theme.
If you wish to team up with another family to create a basket, we just ask that your combined basket be of a higher value. For example, the basket must have a minimum value of $100 if it is put together by two families; if it is put together by four families, it must have a minimum value of $200, etc.
All baskets are due 4/7/25. Any families who have not donated by then will have their account charged $50.
What makes a good basket?
Think of things that you would want to bid on if you were at a silent auction!
Some of the best baskets in the past have included:
- Spa experiences
- Date nights
Activities to do with the family
- Skincare baskets
- Theater tickets
- Family memberships to the aquarium/zoo or something similar
Ultimately ask yourself - would you love to bid on the basket that you're making? Do you think your friends would too?
