Sponsor Out of the Box, the 2010 Auction!

by

Out of the Box logoExciting news! Preparations for our Oct 1, 2010 auction – Out of the Box are in full swing and we have some amazing auction items!

The auction team has been working hard to get good deals and donations for all that it takes to put on this fabulous event. We still have to pay for some things, though, and this is where you can help!

We are seeking individual and business cash sponsors to offset the costs of the auction, and we’ll even give you stuff for your donation. Big thanks to Barbara Lauterbach, who made her Playface sponsorship donation months ago (I wish I could plan ahead as well as Barbara!)

See the main auction page for details and current sponsors, or just click to download the documents below and make a donation by check or online:

Please feel free to reach out to businesses you frequent and to friends about sponsoring our auction, just let me know and I can send you more introductory information. Email me: [email protected]

Out of the Box is going to be a fantastic and fun night.  With your help, we’ll make even more money for an exciting new project for the chimpanzees…

So many things to bid on!

We’re in the middle of writing up the catalog for the Celebrate the Seven auction, and I’ve got to tell you – we have a lot of really fabulous stuff, and LOTS of it! Now we need to sell those tickets out! So, if you haven’t already – email everyone in your address book and tell them not to miss this event. Ticket sales are picking up – better get yours today! And email me to let me know if you’re able to flyer in and around Seattle – I’ll hook you up with some gorgeous flyers and leave-behind cards.

Here are a few of the items up for grabs: yoga classes, etched bottles of wine, getaway packages (like a NY stay and Candle 79 dinner, an eagle-watching float trip, a week in Mazatlan, and a Caribbean cruise), gift boxes of vegan meat (that’s right – vegan meat made locally by Field Roast), jewelry, NASCAR tickets, special label wine with a photo of Missy and Annie on it, numerous Seattle hotel overnights, rafting trips, wine tastings, gift certificates for so many restaurants my head is spinning, boarding for companion canines, custom portraits, and art worthy of our own gallery show! Check out just some of the art here. This is going to be one amazing evening.

Thank you to everyone who donated and helped procure items.

Art for chimp’s sake

by

I am SO excited about the donations that we have for our Celebrate the Seven auction (Buy tickets)

In addition to some incredible getaway packages, wine excursions and bottles of wine, restaurant gift certificates, and tons of fun, fun stuff, we have art that was donated specifically for this auction. Many pieces are illustrations and paintings of chimpanzees, including the Cle Elum Seven. Below are just a few.

In a few days, I will post a one-of-a-kind necklace made by CSNW supporter Tamela – it will absolutely blow you away.

Be sure to get your tickets today and tell others about the auction! You can also spread the event through Facebook.

Margaret Parkinson’s 12x12in painting, “Negra in the Sun”
I have seen this in person and attendees are going to have to outbid me for this piece

Colin has been working for the past several months on ink illustrations of all seven of the chimpanzees for the auction – all of which are breathtaking.

Sally-Anne Ryan’s 24x20in painting, “Foxie and the Troll”

Pretty things

1st pretty thing: Have you noticed the redesigned CSNW website!! High five to Clocktower Media for helping us bring the Cle Elum Seven to the world!

2nd pretty thing: We have SO many amazing items for the Celebrate the Seven Oct. 2nd auction. I promise to share more about this in the coming weeks. Today’s auction item sneak peak is a one-of-a-kind wallet with Foxie’s photo on it with a $50 gift certificate inside. Take a look on the Laura Bee Designs blog. Thanks, Laura!

Sponsor the auction – get some cool stuff

by

We’re looking for sponsors for the Oct. 2nd Celebrate the Seven auction so that all expenses are paid and all money raised will go directly to the sanctuary, and we want to give you some pretty great stuff for your sponsorship dollars. We already have some amazing auction items (more on that later), and it is going to be one heck of a gala event! Expenses are starting to accrue, though, and we need more sponsors! We are looking for both business and individual sponsors, each come with thier own set of benefits. I’ve pasted the benefit information below and included a link to download the pdf versions of the benefit documents. You can also download the pdfs from our event page.

Please email if you are personally interested or know of any businesses that may be interested in getting some good karma, some recognition and some unique benefits  in exchange for their sponsorship.

Thanks!
