We got our redbox donation in January it was $25 individual coupon codes for a free movie. Our email also stated 7-10 days but I believe I got it sooner.
Has anyone received the Redbox donation lately? How many certificates do they send? We are working on our catalog right now and based on the email I received this morning, we will be lucky if the donation arrived in time for our event. It was very vague as to what they were sending and indicated it would arrive in 7-10 business days. Our event is in about a week... yikes!
Well I'm happy to say our Spring Benefit is over with...It was our first one and there were many bumps along the way but we had a good turn out and we sold a total of around $11,000. That was 118% of our 27 live auction items/packages and 80% of our 60 items/packages on silent.
Not so bad for my first year in charge of collecting donations. I just want to thank this website especially because it got me my information. Next year will be so much smoother since I now know the website addresses and the process of getting the donations. Plus I have a whole year to collect more ideas.
Want to share some of our big sellers:
School items that went for big money were:
>teacher goes to your house and read a bedtime story and gave a collection of books
>I got a cert from a bowling alley for 6 so I asked 2 teachers to take 4 kids bowling then afterwards they got to go to a pizza place
>a prime parking spot with a sign with their families name on it for next school year. It was a bidding war so the principal added another one.
>we had a very talented student make a copper sculpture
>school jacket & cap
>gym rental for a party with the assistance of 2 teachers with pizza cards & cake
