News and Announcements
Donating items to our auction catalog is a great way to support our fundraising efforts. PMPI recognizes the value of its members who supply goods and services, and feel there should be additional benefits for those who help the chapter achieve its goals of superior professional development and networking opportunities.
Here are some reasons to consider a donation to the silent auction or providing a sponsorship:
-Proceeds received will also help augment the cost of professional development and other various member benefits of PMPI
-You will receive recognition via Bidding For Good to over 300,000 online bidders and the evening of the event.
To submit an item donation to this auction, you will be asked to provide some information about the item you would like to donate, along with digital pictures of the item. If your donation has an expiration date we ask to set the date for at the earliest May 15, 2017.
