Rocky Mountain PBS is teaming with energy these days, especially with the excitement around
Auction. Each day there are some 30 volunteers in the building, doing everything from photographing incoming donations to handling item pickup.
Their passion for Auction – and this organization – is contagious. Day in and day out, I think to myself, boy is this place unique.
Yet there is nothing unique about the financial troubles we're facing. Families and non-profits alike are feeling the pinch. The fact is, this year, Auction needs to deliver more than ever. We are well short of revenue goals – $1.5 million down – and we look to you to help make Auction the success it needs to be.
What's neat is that everyone benefits from Auction. For local businesses, it's a great way to support a cause, get your company's name out there and make a tax-deductible contribution. For the artists that donate work, it means on-air exposure and community recognition. For the buyer, it means getting unique, valuable items while supporting Rocky Mountain PBS.
The hundreds of volunteers that make Auction possible also benefit. Each year, a community of volunteers comes together to rally around something near and dear to their hearts. They work extraordinarily hard – and have fun while doing it.
