Exclusive travel and tour packages can energize donors and help organizations exceed their fundraising goals

Creating a distinctive charity fundraiser that motivates donors can be a challenge, especially during this economic downturn.  Autograph Store’s Charity Fundraising Division offers its Once in a Lifetime Experiences that can energize donors and help organizations exceed their fundraising goals.  While auctioning art or sports memorabilia can enliven a fundraiser, Autograph Store’s Charity Fundraising Division’s Once in a Lifetime Experiences can be tailored to a specific audience to provide a truly customized charity auction event.

Autograph Store’s Charity Fundraising Division has helped charitable organizations of all sizes conduct profitable and entertaining charity fundraisers, and can advise each organization on how to select the right Once in a Lifetime Experience package.  If donors enjoy golf, Autograph Store offers Masters Golf Tournament Final Round packages that include 2 badges to the Masters final weekend, with roundtrip air transportation and 3 nights lodging.  Another exciting experience that can motivate bidders is Autograph Store’s FashionWeek package that includes 2 VIP luxury suite passes and a 3 night stay and airfare to the FashionWeek shows at Bryant Park in Midtown Manhattan. 

Organizations can also select from these special Once in a Lifetime Experiences:  

·         MLB games

·         NASCAR racing

·         Horse Racing

·         College Football Bowl Games

·         NHL games

·         Formula One Racing

·         U.S. Open Tennis

The aforementioned packages are but a few of the many exciting travel and tour packages available for auction.  Anthony Nurse, Charity Fundraising Director at Autograph Store, is always happy to assist organizations that are planning fundraisers. “We want charitable organizations to surpass their fundraising goals and what better way to do that than to auction Once in a Lifetime Experiences that excite bidders with incredible event and tour packages,” stated Mr. Nurse.

“Especially in these challenging economic times it’s not easy to find ways to get people to donate more to a cause.  With our packages bidders can vie for the chance to attend a game at Yankee Stadium, see the Daytona 500, or they can even win a chance to sit at the controls of a real fighter plane as they and their instructor experience actual combat-like engagements (not a flight simulator; this is the real thing)!  We have the ability to coordinate the right Once in a Lifetime Experience that will match your audience’s interests.  You can enjoy the pre-auction publicity and the exhilaration that accompanies the bidding as you raise money for your charity.  These packages are truly some of the most unique charity auction fundraising ideas we offer,” Mr. Nurse said.

Planning a charity fundraising event with Autograph Store is easy. Autograph Store has worked with larger charities, including the United Way, American Heart Association and March of Dimes;  but it also specializes in helping smaller organizations, such as local charity golf tournaments, PTOs and more.  Autograph Store will assist charities on any level to select appropriate Once in a Lifetime Experience packages. 

Autograph Store’s Charity Fundraising Division has had the pleasure of receiving a number of charity fundraising testimonials.  With the holidays approaching now is a perfect time to plan a special fundraiser centered around Autograph Store’s Once in a Lifetime Experiences.  Autograph Store invites non-profits, schools and charitable organizations to contact them today to start planning their upcoming fundraisers.

Autograph Store Charity Fundraising provides much more than collectibles, vacation packages and experiences for charity auctions - we become a thread in the fabric of the lives of everyone assisted with the money we help raise. We frequently send photographers into the field to document the projects we help fund, and more importantly, the lives we help to change forever. It’s easy to get lost in statistics and numbers, to become overwhelmed by the abundance of people who still need help; we often look at some of the lives we’ve already changed to remind us we are on the right path, and motivate us to continue to assist any charity that contacts us for fundraising assistance. We invite you to visit some of the people we have helped, to admire their courage and devotion and to recognize the organizations that dedicated so much time, effort and money to make a true difference in the world. We will continue to fight poverty, sickness, hunger, thirst and needless death - join us in this crusade and look at all we can accomplish together.

Recently Autograph Store Charity Fundraising teamed up with the Fanatical Change Foundation and supplied several charity auction items such as autographed items from: BB King, Elton John, Michael Jackson, James Brown, Mickey Mantle, KISS and Muhammad Ali to raise funds. Please watch the video below of the families we helped with all the money raised…

“Obtaining authentic autographs and memorabilia from the Harry Potter cast is not an easy task. Although Harry Potter And The Half Blood Prince does not officially premiere until July 15 we were able to get some unsigned image stills from the movie back in December of 2008,” stated Michael Tobin, Autograph Store Auction Manager.  “We conducted several signings with Daniel Radcliffe in January while on Broadway starring in “Eqqus.” We obtained more and more images from the film as the months went on and we were able complete some cast signed items with Emma Watson and Rupert Grint while they were in New York last week promoting the film. Last week was absolutely crazy for us as Daniel, Rupert and Emma were in New York City all at the same time, staying at different hotels and doing different promotions for the film,” Mr. Tobin said.

“We had to divide up our staff into three separate teams to cover the signings. We were able to get items signed at The Ed Sullivan Theater, ABC television studios, FUSE studios, The Ziegfeld Theater, The American Museum Of Natural History, and other more private locations, basically wherever Daniel, Rupert and Emma were, we were there getting new photos from the film signed. The opportunity we offer fans and autograph collectors alike to obtain and capture an authentic piece of film history just as the movie is being released is something we are very proud of,” stated Mr. Tobin.

While we were all bummed about him rushing by, we had a nice surprise when moments later actress, fiance and actress Isla Fisher  dropped in. She looked beautiful as ever and is always great about signing for fans though not on this day.

Autograph Store has been around the block a few times and we know one thing is certain Sasha signs for his fans- no way was he not coming back out! We waited and boy it was well worth it. Sasha was transformed into the sexpot ” Bruno ” in Red Leather pants, long black gloves, posing, flaunting, doing some nutty moves Bruno put on a great show. After posing he pranced his way across the street and signed every autograph that he saw for Autograph Store.

Do the Right Thing is a 1989 American ensemble film produced, written, and directed by Spike Lee. The film deals with issues of racial conflict in the multi-ethnic community of Bedford-Stuyvesant, a neighborhood in Brooklyn, New York, during the hottest day of the summer. Director Lee also stars in the film, alongside Danny Aiello, Ossie Davis, Ruby Dee, Richard Edson, Giancarlo Esposito, Bill Nunn, and John Turturro “Then we had Sam Jackson—before he was Samuel L. “. The film is also notable in that it marks the feature film debuts of both Martin Lawrence and Rosie Perez.
The film was a success at the box office, and received numerous accolades and awards. The film has grown in stature over time; in 1999, it was deemed “culturally significant” by the United States Library of Congress and selected for preservation in the National Film Registry, one of five films to do so in its first year of eligibility. In 2007, the American Film Institute listed the film as the ninety-sixth greatest American Movie in Film History.
The song “Fight the Power” by Public Enemy is a recurring aural motif in the film, as blasted from a huge boombox toted by Radio Raheem (Nunn). It appears 15 times in the film.

In a time when philanthropic dollars seem to be disappearing, Autograph Store Charity Fundraising, one of the world’s leading charity fundraising organizations, had a different outcome at its most recent United Way charity auction events. Anthony Nurse, Charity Fundraising Director at Autograph Store, stated, “We were very happy to be able to supply some great celebrity autographed items to three recent United Way fundraising galas. We were blown away by the number of people who responded this year. Not only did our items help us increase the night’s overall revenue, but it was easy and fun for everyone to get involved. Whether they were able to donate $10,000 or $10, each person was able to make a contribution. And when they saw their respective bids rising… the energy in the room was electric. I am very pleased that in this economy we are able to help charities and non-profits find new auction items to engage more guests in the fundraising process and make a real difference. We are certainly looking forward to partnering with the United Way again on more fundraising projects,” Mr. Nurse said.

Sir Paul McCartney was in NYC at Radio City Music Hall on April 4th 2009, and decided to give his fans a treat and stop to do some signings. With Michael Jackson’s passing it appears that Paul McCartney and Madonna will be battling out as the greatest living entertainer.

Paul spent some time checking out the items his adoring fans and Autograph Store had on hand for him to sign.

A Beatles reunion at least 50% anyway, happened April 4th at “Change Begins Within,” a benefit concert at Radio City Music Hall for the David Lynch Foundation. Paul McCartney was leading a star studded line up; Ringo Starr was also on the hand,  after letting the anticipation build, the two Beatles did perform together, as they did in 2002 for a dedication after the death of George Harrison.

After an amazing set of songs from the Beatles, Wings and his solo albums, with video clips full of Beatles footage, Mr. McCartney said, “At this point we would like to introduce somebody to you who you know, you’ve heard his name. He’s going to come out here and play you a little song this joyful night. Ladies and gentlemen: Billy Shears!”

And just as on “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band,” there was Mr. Starr to sing “With a Little Help From My Friends,” sharing a microphone with Mr. McCartney during the song and embraces afterward.

The great James Bond - Roger Moore has been out every few months signing copies of his book- Sure we got him here in NY in November but even we were surprised at just how popular Roger Moore was- We needed to get our crack over seas team on the job and Mr. Moore did not let us down! He was in Berlin promoting the German translation of his new book but Autograph Store shipped over our English copies and got them done!
