HELP HELP HELP
« on: September 19, 2010 »

Hi Guys and Girls

I am holding a Charity Auction in aid of Oxfam Ireland to also travel to the roof of Africa Kilimanjaro.

I am finding it very difficult to find item to auction and would like to ask you all if you could help. I am really desperate and would be really greatful if you could donate some items or services that I could auction on the 22nd October.

Here are some items I have managed to get www.lennyupkili.webs.com

Thanks for taking the time to read this

planning to have a look through the attic to see what i can find, i'm a bit of a hoarder  ::)

any particular audiance? will it be full of ramblers or normal people  ;D

send an email (maybe even a letter) to EVERY company you can think of, especially if they know you and ask for something, no matter how small, to donate, you could even pop them on ebay for a bigger audiance (to end after the pub auction with reserved rights to withdraw obviousy if a good price is got at the auction)

Unfortunately I don't have much lying about but I'd agree with Liam. Hive the net for company emails and send them all a begging letter.

Oops, meant begging. Well, depends on what you're after I suppose.

lol

Thank Liam really do appreciate it. I have sent loads of letters. Two to some companies. It's easy to hide behind a letter or email so have taken to the streets. But sometimes even come up short there. Will keep trying till I get the 36 items I need. 13/36 down.

you could also get some more unique items, the Rory McIlroy signed poster is a good idea, contact some more celebs, i fancy a poster of Christine Bleakley on my wall  ::)  

you could also get some items made specially, for a few pound you can email a pic off to some company who will print you a tshirt, mug, sticker, mousemat etc, i fancy an NI-wild mug  ;D
