I have had success with Organic Valley, Disney World and Keurig. A lot of the companies mentioned on this site are getting overwhelmed with requests and cannot contribute anymore.

I am in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, and my auction is in March 2011. I always get a lot of oceanfront condos and beach houses donated, but the locals don't bid high because they really don't have a need for them. Does anyone else have the same problem that would be willing to swap vacation packages?? If you live in a resort area and have a package to swap, please contact me at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. I posted this a few weeks ago and already have contacts for the Smokey Mountains and DC. We can all help each other out.

Also, in need of hotel accomodations in the Atlanta area. Have a lot of tickets for museums, etc, and we are trying to put together a weekend package. If anyone has info, let us know.

Newly formed PTO looking for an accumlative donation list to print out. Planning an event in March. (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.) I have read through all posting of the 45 pages under the ultimate donation board.
