Local Annual Fundraiser Success with iBid(TM)
Local preparatory school, St. Ignatius, raises money for school at annual Putting on the Ritz event. St. Ignatius chose to continue its use of Events.org's software and auction program iBid, having another successful year of fundraising.
- Chicago, IL (1888PressRelease) March 09, 2011 - Saint Ignatius College Prep held its annual fundraising auction on February 26. This year's theme was "Puttin' on the Ritz - Highlights of the Silver Screen."
Hundreds of guests attended looking to walk away with items including overseas vacations, Apple iPads and iPhones, spa packages and tickets for Bears, Bulls, Sox and Cubs games. Along with the auction, attendees enjoyed hors d'oeuvres, cocktails and music from a live band.
A selection of the auction's items was available to bid on through live auction software provided by Events.org. The system allowed for a quick guest check-in and provided each bidder with their own bidder information. Guests had access to iPads and touch-screen kiosks that allowed for an easy and convenient way to make bids throughout the auction. Items could be found searching by category, keyword, best values or most popular. The live auction software also provided an efficient check out so winners could track their bids and receive their gifts.
