our silent auction is LIVE! {plus how to see a picture of our Ugandan three!}
/
The auction is live... with the first two items, that is.
The auction itself will run online between two in-person events in June. To read more about that, go here.
To get a glimpse at the items, check out our auction/fundraising blog: because He first loved them {and us}
I'm adding more items all day today and tomorrow, and I expect to add more as we get more donations in the coming weeks.
(On that note, do you have a vacation rental/home - possibly in the mountains or at the beach or on a lake - that you'd be willing to offer for a week to our auction? Or do you know someone who would? You can specify one week, offer a list of weeks to choose from, or work with the winner to find a mutually convenient time. If so, please email me at shannon@dinglefest.com. If it's the rental/home of someone you know or someone you've rented from, I can provide you with a donation request letter you can pass along.)
For now, though, we have TWO items that can't wait until June. Why? Well, the first is a voucher for four tickets to the NC Symphony's Summerfest series of concerts which run through June and into the beginning of July (valued at $86, but the starting bid is only $20).
We want you to have every week available to choose from for your princess (or prince!) between the ages of 2.5 and 4, so we're auctioning it off now. The value is $240, but the starting bid is only $50, so go take a look or bid now!
Please, please, please share this information with anyone who might be interested. Once I list all the auction items on the site, you'll see that we have a diverse assortment of arts, sports, gift card, and kid-friendly options (with a market value total of $5,500 in all!), but the rest won't be live until June 22.
All money earned in this auction will go directly to our adoption. Every item was donated, and a generous friend has offered to cover the expense of shipping any items to non-local winners.
In other words, every penny goes to bringing us together with Patience, Philip, and Patricia as a family.
One more incentive to checking out the auction site? You'll find a picture of our Ugandan three there. Granted, their faces are covered because they aren't legally ours yet... but it's the best picture we can share until they are home!
Need an incentive to bid? Every bidder will receive a confirmation email from me, which will include the unobstructed picture of our Ugandan siblings, with a watermark reminding you that it cannot be posted online.
Please spread the news about this. Please.
Thanks!

The tickets will be no good to a winner after most of the concerts have already happened! Go here for more information or to bid on the tickets.
The second item? A week of Princess Summer Camp at CC & Co Dance Complex here in Raleigh.
