Silent & live auctions

---

It is no secret that an integral part of nonprofit fundraisers like this usually include some type of auction.  The Cowboy Ball will have a silent auction that will be open upon guest arrival and then a live auction that will feature larger items just after dinner and right before The Palomino Band takes the stage.

We'd greatly appreciate any donations of these items and the earlier you commit to doing so, the more exposure we can provide on social media and to confirmed guests.

· VIP experiences 

· Electronics packages (new tablet, televisions, speakers, cameras, etc.)
