Please remember, the Auction is ALL about the kids...but is does benefit us all in a way as a byproduct...by our participation, we ALL get a feather in the cap for our passionate lifestyle. It does put our sport in a good light. A couple of Years ago we made 'The Wall' at St Judes and they flew out Doug Campbell to present the award. We have become one of their biggest donators.
To date, we've given $677,492.95 to help sick kids.
So PLEASE join us. Charitable donations are down across the board, for charity events and have been for some time now due to the economy....but lets not let the kids down.
You can donate anything you like but fire arms, bullets, or any explosives. It does not have to be traditional bowhunting.
Take a look around your house and see what you got, or donate a hunt, or fishing trip ...gift card for a restaurant, heck, anything....and we've had nearly everything donated over the years. But DON'T dilly dally, the auction will open before you know it so 'get on it'.
If you have a question about the auction, just start a post here on the PowWow and ask and a TradGanger will likely answer it. If not, jut go to the Auction forum and the Auction Moderators are listed near the top left hand corner of the page...got a question, click on one and ask
Some of you new guys n gals may not know, but we've had some fun times in the past....2 dozen cookies went for $6000,....yep, 6 THOUSAND dollars....and the year after that some pound cakes made by a young lady named Delaney went for over $7000.
So, join us again this year, or for your 1st time....its a lot of fun. :campfire:

John...just log into the Auction forum the same way you log into Tradgang...just click on the yellow banner that's on any forum.
I'll have to look into getting someone to post pics, Rob and I will be too busy to handle editing and posting pics.
To Everyone....its best to post your pic with your post because I will be moving the listing to different forums and the pic really needs to be on the original post so it will move also.
Oh, and also, just to make it clear, the auction is open to All Tradgang members.
ALL BID forums will OPEN May 24th at 6:00 PM EST. The BID forums CLOSE June 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th 10:00 PM - bids must be time stamped 9:59pm to count!
Please Please Please get your listing in before 6:00 PM May 24th. Getting your item(s) in well in advance allows others to make lists of what they want to bid on, and some save those pages as favorites just to check on them. If your listing gets in after the auction starts it might not get the exposure it needs to bring the highest dollar amount for the kids.
And please read the featured posts at the top of the listing forum, there's a lot of info to help inform you on how to list and how the auction works.
Thank you for your time, and God bless this auction and the kids it represents

Looking forward to helping all that I can this year! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Getting my donation items lined up and all my nickels squirreled away. This is a fabulous experience!
I found some odd ends down in the shop. Will get some pics and list them when my "tech support" gets back to town...
You can count on me for a donation. Let me think this one through. This is an awesome thing.
I'll be donating a bunch of my obsidian points. Can't wait to get the bidding started!
Thanks guys....and remember, the auction is open to ALL members.
It's the coolest thing since sliced bread and if you want to go back a little further, the coolest thing since the invention of fire and the bow. :campfire: :archer:
I have been lookin' forward to the auction this year. It's always a good time and a great fund raiser for the kids.
Bid high for the kids!
Shoot straight, Shinken

I can't believe some of the items already being posted for auction. I'm really liking the custom knife offer. Can't wait!
