What's Still Needed

Help make our online auction a national success! You've seen the tickets to an NBA basketball game and Miki's beautiful photograph up for bids. Now you can help by donating items or contacting someone you know who can donate items. We are looking for items that can be used anywhere in the country, or items that are tied to destination cities. Examples of items of interest include vacation getaways at a luxury resort or spa, round trip airline tickets to anywhere in the US, Artwork, or tickets to a special event in LA, New York city, or some other destination city.

Please email Cheryl Badger at Cheryl.Badger@dowjones.com or me at bert.allen@allentiumllc.com to let us know the items you or a friend will donate.
