🧺 WE’RE LOOKING FOR BASKETS FOR AN UPCOMING AUCTION! 🧺
The Lincoln Tree of Hope has some exciting things coming up, and we’re looking for businesses and people in our community who would like to put together a themed basket for an upcoming auction benefiting our events!
Have fun with it and make it your own! Some ideas could be:
🏠 Home décor
🍿 Family movie or game night
🎟️ Family outings or experiences
❤️ Date night
☕ Coffee or self-care
🍽️ Restaurant or local food favorites
🏈 Husker or sports themed
🎁 Or something completely different!
You can also ask around in the community! Local businesses are often willing to contribute things like zoo or attraction tickets, movie passes, restaurant gift cards, salon or nail services, or other experiences. It’s a great way for them to get their name out there while being part of something happening right here in our community.
If you want to reach out to a few places and build a basket that way, please do! The Lincoln Tree of Hope is completely volunteer-run, so having extra hands making those connections means a lot. We can provide a letter verifying our nonprofit status for any business that needs documentation for tax purposes.
We just ask that any physical items included are new. Before wrapping your basket, please send us a quick list of what’s inside along with the approximate total value. That gives the person running the auction everything they need to talk it up and get people bidding!
We’re hoping to have everything ready within the next week or two, so if you’d like to put a basket together, comment below and we’ll reach out with the details!
Thank you for always showing up for The Lincoln Tree of Hope. We’re able to keep doing what we do because this community continues to put its heart behind us and the families we serve. ❤️🌳
