Over the past 20 years Vintage Albuquerque has raised more than $3 million for the children of New Mexico. This has been made possible by the generosity of our donors, plain and simple. We depend on the sponsors who donate cash and services that make the event possible. We depend on the contributors who provide the wine, art, trips and the other items that comprise the Friday & Saturday Night Silent Auctions as well as the Saturday Night Live Auction. We depend on the attendees who purchase the tickets and frequent the events. And we depend on the bidders who purchase the silent and live auctions lots and provide the majority of funds that are contributed to our benefactors. On-line donations can be made with the form below.
Donations for auctions are being sought. If you have questions or would prefer not to use the online form below please contact: Joe Kern cbkern@sprintmail.com
EXAMPLES OF ITEMS THAT MAY BE DONATED
Wine Lots
The lifeblood of Vintage Albuquerque, we are still acquiring wine lots for all auctions. Whether its a special single bottle, a case or a major thematic collection, we’d love to have it. If you are interested or able to help us fill in lots that we are assembling, let us know what you have, or ask us what we are in need of.
Trips, Dinners & One-of-a-Kind Experiences
Do you have a villa in Tuscany that we can auction a guest stay? A friend who owns a winery in Argentina? Or credit card points that you are willing to use for airfare? Perhaps you know someone who can offer a special experience that a lucky bidder would cherish forever. If so, please let us know. We can often piece together an unforgettable experience from a few different donors.
Jewelry, Art and other Treasures
All auctions feature a variety of items to bid on. Although all our major artist gifts are complete and committed, we are still looking for “buyable creativity” that would augment the sales and shopping experience.
Other Auction Items
Whatever isn’t covered in the above categories, consider covered here. We’ve had some spectacular auction items that don’t fit in the conventional categories. Be creative.
