Also, did you use just a general letter asking for any kind of donation, or did you ask for a specific thing from each place? We haven't done a silent auction in years and this is the first one that I have been a part of.
Thanks so much for this list! I'm in Rome and can definitely use some of these places. Please let me know what else you have success with, and even those that turned you down if you have time.
I have gotten a lot of great ideas and leads from this message board, so I am giving back. Here is the list of companies that have donated items to my upcoming auction.
