Chamber Call-In Auction Friday
The Bradford Area Chamber of Commerce, local and regional businesses and organizations, and the pubic announce the first of three public events promoting the products and services available in our area.
The Chamber’s 2008 annual public auctions will include two popular morning live radio call in auctions on the Friday mornings before the main event on Wednesday, October 22.
The first call in auction on Friday, October 10, features five packages including a variety of items from dinner for two at Glendorn to two tickets to a Buffalo Bills game seating in the Paul McGuire Club.
Revenue from the auctions generates the second largest income item on the Chamber’s annual budget following membership income. This primary fundraiser expanded from a one evening event to include call-in live radio auctions four years ago. The call-in auctions reach a wide audience and provide an opportunity for many more to recognize and benefit from the donations made to the Chamber. To date, more than 150 professionals and business owners have made donations to the event. “The services and programs of the chamber are supported through the three auctions,” stated Diane Sheeley, executive director of the Bradford Area Chamber of Commerce. “Over the last seven years I have seen many outside our membership generously give their auction donation as a way to support and appreciate the benefits of having a chamber in Bradford.”
Bidding for the call in auction will begin at 7 am and continue through the winner’s announcement at 9:30 am. The radio auction will be heard on WESB 1490 am and WBRR 1001. FM. Bids can be placed by calling 368-WESB. Items in the packages of the radio on-air auctions can be found in advertisements in the Bradford ERA, the Olean Times Herald, the Bradford Journal and bradford-online.com.
