Guest guest Posted July 25, 2000 Report Share Posted July 25, 2000 kathy,,ask your local newspaper if they would donate space for an add.then sell it to the highest bidder,or go to a sporting goods store have them display it and ask for bids on it,explaining of course that it is for the PLS fund.It should be easy to raise 50-100 dollars on a pro.football.Several years ago I was running a golf benefit for the MDA,after the tournament we had a silent auction,one of the items was an autograph picture of Marino,the quarterback for the Miami Dolphins,it went for $300.00 Happy to hear you are feeling better.C.

Guest guest Posted July 25, 2000 Report Share Posted July 25, 2000 That is a thought but I think I like the idea of eBay first. People here are packer crazy but they also know that these footballs are used a lot. I was hoping for some shirts with signatures. Oh, well. I guess what I'm trying to say is that we may get more money from eBay, if not I can always ask around here. I have contacted both newspapers here and have not heard from either one of them. Lack of interest? I don't know but have another letter ready to send them again as a reminder. kathy C828@... wrote: > kathy,,ask your local newspaper if they would donate space for an add.then > sell it to the highest bidder,or go to a sporting goods store have them > display it and ask for bids on it,explaining of course that it is for the PLS > fund.It should be easy to raise 50-100 dollars on a pro.football.Several > years ago I was running a golf benefit for the MDA,after the tournament we > had a silent auction,one of the items was an autograph picture of Marino,the > quarterback for the Miami Dolphins,it went for $300.00 > Happy to hear you are feeling better.C. > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 26, 2000 Report Share Posted July 26, 2000 Way to go Kathy! I never thought about that! I have the S.F. 49ers, S.F. Giants, Oakland Raiders, Oakland A's, Golden State Warriors and the San Sharks right here in my backyard so I'll write to them. We are season ticket holders for the 49ers and the A's and Warriors in the past so I'll certainly remind them of that too and see if it helps. Thanks for the idea.

Guest guest Posted July 26, 2000 Report Share Posted July 26, 2000 Kathy, If you auction the football, give us a good description and we can all take bids. I would post the info at the bank where I work. Give a deadline and then let it go to the highest bidder with the PLS person on that end being responsible for collecting and getting the money to you before you send the ball.???????

Guest guest Posted July 26, 2000 Report Share Posted July 26, 2000 Hi, said she was going to have her son put it on eBay so I guess you would have to contact her I was hoping that it would get 'a new home' during the challenge time which I think ends in September. kathy Ronnie Grove wrote: > Kathy, > > If you auction the football, give us a good description and we can all take > bids.

Guest guest Posted July 26, 2000 Report Share Posted July 26, 2000 Sorry, forgot the the discription. It is a football and is signed by the players. Most of the signatures can't be 'read' as their writing is terrible, but they put their number next to their name. It is really nothing special as far as I can tell except it is signed by the Packer players. I can send it to who buys it but I don't want to be responsible for the money part. I would rather dump that on too. (Sorry, ). kathy Ronnie Grove wrote: > Kathy, > > If you auction the football, give us a good description and we can all take > bids.

Guest guest Posted July 27, 2000 Report Share Posted July 27, 2000 Kim: When you sign up to be a member and get emails from PLS-Friends, you get ALL of them. Some of which do not pertain to you directly. Hopefully that answers your question. If you do not wish so many emails, you can subscribe to just the digest (I think), then you go to egroups and read all the mail on that page.
