The generosity of auction item donations from businesses is a critical part of the event’s success, with auction proceeds making up a significant portion of the $1.6 million raised during last year’s event. Please consider an in-kind contribution for this year’s FARA Energy Ball auction. Your support would highlight your business’ name and philanthropic interests within the community and help fuel continued research, clinical trials, and treatments.

Depending on the nature of your business, some of the suggested auction items we are seeking include gift certificates, merchandise, getaways, and memorabilia autographed by major league athletes and A-List celebrities. We appreciate anything you might be willing to give, but are hoping to focus on gift certificates or packages that allow for easy shipping if necessary.
