Our online auction has been a great success for several years now. It combines the concept of our long-standing history of a Rotary Auction with the ease and convenience of online technology. It is thanks to the generous support of businesses such as yours that we have been able to hold an auction with various formats over the years for over three quarters of a century.

 By holding our online auction in December, we are hoping this will present the perfect opportunity for people who are looking for gifts for the holidays – whether that be for family and friends or a treat for themselves.

 As always, proceeds raised from the Auction will directly benefit our communities. Since the entirety of our raffle proceeds were awarded to our three community proceed partners, the online auction will be dedicated to supporting the Presque Isle Rotary Scholarship fund and our existing annual projects and events, as well as the expansion and creation of new club service efforts. Any remaining funds will be used to directly support other community organizations’ efforts as needs arise.

 We are asking local businesses and organizations to help us secure the items and gift certificates for our auction. Please consider donating one or more items (product or services). We also accept donations from you of products or services that you obtain from other businesses or organizations, as well as cash/check donations made out to the Presque Isle Rotary Club to purchase items. The more we collect, the bigger the impact we can make!

 Your consideration of this request is greatly appreciated. To support our online auction, please email rotaryclubpresqueisle@gmail.com or visit www.presqueislerotary.org/auctiondonation. All donations must be received by November 14. If you have any questions in the meantime, please reach out to one of us.

 With sincere gratitude in advance of your generosity,
