poker tourney / silent auction benefit
12.05.08 | happenings
saturday we're hosting along with a few others a
gala dinner, silent auction, and poker tourney to
benefit the costa rican humanitarian
foundation. nicole is taking a month off
and volunteering during the month of march
for a clinical rotation. we're hoping to
raise $5,000 to help pay for medical related
expenses needed for medical clinics run by a
few doctors and the five third-year
physician students (most of the
communication will be done in spanish..).
i'm also going down there for about 10 days
to help kids learn how to brush teeth and
the such... my medical knowledge never went
past basic first aid/ cpr certs along with
my emergency prepardness merit badge earned
in the boy scouts!
the poker tourney shall be grand.... up for grabs is a weekend condo stay up in frisco among many other awesome prizes. if you are interested in only the poker tourney, there will be a $5 entrance fee along with the $15 buy-in.
we are donating a $550 family portrait session (starting bid at $200) and a $250 pet portrait session (starting bid at $100). there are massage & fine restaurant gift cards donated, a cool skateboard, a signed guitar, a videography package (for those wedding clients who haven't booked a videographer), among many other awesome things... just in time for the holidays, might i add.
****SCRUMPTIALICIOUS UPDATE ***
we had decided to sweeten the silent auction with one of our very own wedding packages. that's right! here's the deal. you'll be bidding on a $3200 wedding package credit, good for our basic package with bidding starting at $1500. if you decide to upgrade to a higher package with album, you would simply pay the difference. there is no "retainer fee" and the balance (if any) would be due 30 days prior to the big day. happy bidding!!!!
here are the fancy wedding-like invitations nicole did up with all the details:
