Donate to the live and silent auctions
The Frisco Family Services Gala is known for its exquisite live and silent auctions. Members of the community can show their support by making a donation to the live or silent auction. Each in-kind gift will help raise thousands of dollars during the Gala. Donors will receive name recognition in the program, on the Frisco Family Services website and at the event providing exposure for each business and their commitment to their community.
Underwrite or put together a unique theme basket
FFS is asking the community to support FFS by donating a theme basket for this year’s auction. Theme baskets are a unique and beautiful part of the exceptional silent auction that raises thousands of dollars during the Gala. Whether done individually, as a family or as a group, creating and donating a theme basket is a great way to participate and demonstrate commitment to keeping the community strong. Each group will receive name recognition in the event program and on the customized basket tags. Some examples include a Movie Basket with movie tickets, DVDs/Blu-rays, snacks and drinks; a Spa Basket with items for a spa day at home; a Book Club basket with books and giftcards. Don’t have any item to donate? Please consider making a financial contribution to underwrite one of the theme baskets.
Advertise in our program
Purchase an advertisement in our event program distributed to 700+ community leaders and attendees. The full-color Gala program offers ad sizes from a quarter page ($100) to a full page ($300).
Become a sponsor
Consider playing a special role in supporting Gala 2014 – ONE and FFS’ mission of preventing hunger and homelessness and addressing other urgent needs by being a sponsor. Becoming a sponsor of Gala 2014 – ONE will place each business in the company of other community leaders and benefit from extended exposure through media campaigns, promotional efforts and event recognition.
