VIRTUAL SILENT AUCTION A TREMENDOUS SUCCESS
While COVID-19 appeared to be on the verge of abruptly shutting down As Good as Gold’s largest annual fundraiser, the Golden Gala, our group’s leadership team sprang into action. How could AGaG raise much needed funds for our dogs without violating CDC guidelines and endangering our guests?
Plans for a virtual silent auction developed despite the short amount of time available to organize, the team gathered 78 valuable prizes that could be mailed to winners, and May 9- 16 was designated virtual silent auction week!
Totals of the event raised $69,273, which includes the Miller Charitable Trust matching grant.
A special THANK YOU goes out to The Miller Charitable Trust for applying their $20,000 matching grant to the virtual silent auction. As always, we thank the Miller family for their generosity and support.
And, a big THANK YOU goes out to Sponsors who previously pledged money to support the Golden Gala all agreed to transfer their pledges as donations to the virtual silent auction! We are extremely grateful for that generosity.
We are thrilled that we were able to work together “virtually” for this fundraiser. We would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to all of our generous members and friends who helped to make our virtual silent auction a tremendous success. Your contributions will be crucial in covering general and medical expenses for the goldens and golden mixes entrusted to our care. The dogs thank you as well!
SAVE THE DATE: We look forward to celebrating an “in person” evening with you at next year’s Golden Gala. Please mark your calendars for May 22 2021.
