Annual Auction Raises Funds for Kids 2 Camp

June 1, 2010

The August Extravaganza – Saturday, August 28, 2010

It is fast-paced, exciting, and fun for the entire family. It is Warm Beach Camp’s August Extravaganza.

The eleventh annual August Extravaganza is a fundraising event for the Camp’s Kids 2 Camp Scholarship fund. You will find some incredible bargains, lots of great gift ideas, and even once-in-a-lifetime experiences, each item going to the highest bidder.

The auction preview opens at 9 a.m. and the auctions run until approximately 3:30 p.m. The two live auctions and silent auction will feature more than 350 items including things for the yard and garden, sports memorabilia, dining opportunities, gift certificates, craft items, tools, golf packages, sporting event tickets, vacation packages, home furnishings, and one-of-a-kind experiences. The event also includes activities for the kids, and food concessions on site including Ivar’s clam chowder and the Camp’s famous cinnamon rolls.

There’s something for you at the August Extravaganza!

It is a fun event for everyone, but the best part is, we are raising funds for the Camp’s Kids 2 Camp Scholarship Fund, helping kids go to camp. Last year, the Extravaganza raised more than $66,000 for the Kids 2 Camp fund.

“We want to invite you to the August Extravaganza,” says Gary Kocher, the Camp’s Annual Fund Director and event coordinator. “We’ve combined lots of fun activities into an extravaganza! And, it all helps send kids to camp. I know you will enjoy it!”

Make your plans to be a part of this exciting event this year — the August Extravaganza, Saturday, August 28.

Here are some things you can do to help make the August Extravaganza a success this year:

Donate one or more items for the auction — new or near-new household or gift items or an experience or service you can offer to others.
Promote your business and help support the Camp at the same time by donating a product or service to the auction. We will make sure your business gets some great publicity through the Extravaganza.
Plan to attend the Extravaganza, and bring your family and friends with you.
