This winter, Neediest Kids is working with the Washington Wizards to offer some amazing auction packages, the proceeds of which will directly help even more school children in the Washington, DC area. The online auction is live now through March 14, 2010 and many of these packages are once-in-a-lifetime experiences. The purchase of a single package could help hundreds of students. Some sample packages are:
Gimme Five:
Bid for Ten “High Five Kids” to line the tunnel and give a high five to Wizards as they enter court for Indiana vs. Wizards game. Also includes watching the game in a great suite for 18 fans; two Parking Passes; catered food; Wizards Swag and recognition on Jumbotron for your special event.
Rock n? Roll in Cleveland:
Win 2 Round Trip AA tickets to Cleveland to enjoy an astounding Wizards vs. Cavaliers game with 2 club level seats. Have a smashing good time with this package that includes 2 nights at a Cleveland Marriott, dinner for 2 and 2 tickets to Rock n? Roll Hall of Fame.
For those unable to bid, but still interested in helping, Neediest Kids also has a text campaign for $5 donations directly through any major U.S. mobile carrier. To donate, text “NEED” to 90999, or use the widget on www.neediestkids.org. Also, Papa John’s is donating $1 for every pizza ordered online when you enter the promo code “NEED” before ordering at PapaJohns.com (great for an office or classroom pizza party that helps more than just the hungry attendees).
