Smokin' for a Charity Auction

[squirtthecat]

My wife's school (parochial, elementary) has a big charity auction/dinner fundraiser every year...    Tomorrow evening is the next one.

Last year I donated this package - and it brought in around 475 bucks:



Hal was my wingman on this, and took care of the ribs, and the rub we used.  We ended up delivering a lot more than what was listed.


He'll be sitting next to me tomorrow night (rather, we'll be standing in the back of the room w/ beers in hand) as we take it up a notch..

10 pounds pulled pork
10 pounds sliced brisket
3 racks ribs
8 pounds turkey breast roast (all white meat)

Hardwood smoked,  vacuum sealed and frozen for delivery.

--

If the winning bid is over $400, we'll do another package for a matching $400+ bid from the 1st runner up..
(if over $500, we might be persuaded to do 3, etc.)

Wish us luck!!

Awesome.  You can get away with beers in hand at a school auction?  Sent my daughter to the wrong school.

Catholic School...    ;)

For the first couple years, the 'mens group' donated 99 bottles of beer in a wheelbarrow.   I've got a picture somewhere..

They'll have 2 bars (if not 3) open for this thing.   So far there are 350 attending.  Probably some more will walk in.
No children - this is for 'grown ups'..

Adult beverages at a charity auction?  Let's see...  Attendees buy the beer (profit for the cause) and probably raise their average bid by about 10%?  Well, DUH!

Probably more like 25% to 50% - Are the free drinks in Vegas really free? no.
