A lovely way to raise funds

Choose Your Auction Style

• Live Auction: A fun event where people bid in person.
• Silent Auction: Items displayed with bid sheets—less pressure, more relaxed.
• Online Auction: Great for reaching a wider audience.

Gather Items

• Ask local businesses for donations (gift vouchers, hampers, experiences).
• Handmade crafts, art, or even “time and skills” (like gardening help or baking lessons) add a personal touch.

Set the Scene

• If in person, make it warm and welcoming—soft music, simple decorations.
• If online, use clear photos and heartfelt descriptions of each item.

Explain the Cause

• Share why the auction matters: “Every bid helps someone experience the joy of driving on a race track.”
• Keep the tone hopeful and positive.

Add a Little Extra

• Raffles or a small bake sale alongside the auction.
• A short talk about Speed Of Sight or why you chose to fundraise for us can make the evening feel meaningful.

Promote

• Social media posts, local notice boards, and word of mouth.
• Use warm language: “Join us for an evening of kindness and community.”
