2013 We’re Ready for Our Close-up! Concert Silent Auction

For those attending our spring concert, We’re Ready for Our Close-up! on May 18 and May 19 at The Plaza Live Theatre, we want to tell you about some exciting changes in our silent auction procedures. We’ve heard your feedback so we created what we hope is a fun, user friendly, Silent Auction.

For some items, we’ve switched to a Silent Raffle! Here’s how it works:

Purchase Silent Raffle tickets as you enter the theatre or at any time prior to the end of intermission. Tickets are priced at $5 each, or 5 for $20. Look over the items on display, then place as many tickets as you wish in the bowl in front of each item. The more tickets you place with a particular item, the better the chance you have of winning! Tickets will continue to be sold before the concert and throughout intermission. The winning ticket numbers will be posted in the lobby at the end of the concert.

For top-valued items, we’ve switched to a “single sealed-bid” process. We’ve made it easy to bid on those great vacation packages and other terrific items by just filling out a bid form with your highest bid, fold it so that no one can see it, then drop it into the box next to the item on the table. Winners will be announced in the lobby at the end of the concert.

Thank you for your support of the Orlando Gay Chorus. Our silent auctions are one of our biggest fundraisers each concert season, and we hope that these changes will make the process both easier and more fun for you. Good luck!

Be on the lookout for these special items once again at We’re Ready for Our Close-up! on May 18 & 19, 2013

:: Service and leisure gift certificates

:: Mini-vacation packages

:: Collectibles and memorabilia

:: Artwork and other unique items
