I am really offended that you would sell/trade a donation. My organization gets a donation from Pier 39 every year and it is people like you that ruin it for us that need that donation! If you are a small town and not in California....then why get a donation you are not going to use? Please respect the regulations. Thank you!

Is there a place to trade/sale things you get that you cannot use? I have a Pier 39 Family Fun Pack - included in pack is 4 Blue & Gold Fleet Bay Cruise OR RocketBoat Ride Tickets, 4 Carousel Ride Tickets, 4 Magowan's Infinite Mirror Maze Tickets, 4 Single Turbo Ride Tickets, and 2 hr Validation for Pier 39 Parking Garage. Value $ 195.00. I know a lot of people like these, but we are in a small little town. Most of the people here haven't been to CA and don't plan on going. I would be willing to trade or sale. Please e-mail me southmillsfire@live.com

This is a great resource for silent auction info.
I used it last year and learned so much.

I would like to thank everyone for all of the helpful information posted here. Tomorrow is the big day our silent auction starts at 7 am. I chose to do the online auction through 32auctions. If you are interested in this type of auction I would be happy to share my pros and cons with you. Check out our site at www.32auctions.com/xtreme .

I will post my success list with contact information as soon as I wind down.

Hi,

I know this list is awesome and addicting. lol

here's some information from Coach


Thank you for your e-mail.

Due to the overwhelming demand for Coach charitable product donations, we have to limit the types of organizations we can support and requests we can satisfy. Therefore we tend
to focus our donations on broader-reaching programs such as organizations that help the homeless and those which research and support certain health care initiatives.

At least one month prior to your event, please email your donation request, along with the information requested below to productdonations@coach.com.
* letter of request that includes date of event
* contact information of requestor
* mailing address that is not a PO box
* copy of organization's IRS tax determination letter

All information should be sent together in one message.
You may also call 212-594-1850 during normal business hours. Please ask for the Product
Donations department, or ext 5215.

We wish you all the best in all of your endeavors.
