[1]Clarksville, TN – The Clarksville-Montgomery County Humane Society is getting ready to hold their 5th Annual Wags to Witches Fur Ball Bash. A big part of this fundraiser is the SILENT AUCTION, which typically brings in about one-quarter of the net proceeds!
Last year many of you were able to provide items that were very helpful to this effort… so, if you are looking for a way to help out, clean out your clutter, and get a tax deduction in the process… read on!
Do you:
- have new items in your closet waiting for a “re-gift” opportunity?
- or an employer have a business you would like to promote?
- have tickets to a game, concert or event that you are unable to attend?
- have a talent that you would like to share or advertise (i.e. sewing, making jewelry, making pet treats, etc.)?
- have way too much wine in the liquor cabinet?
- have collectibles that are too much trouble to sell online?
- have a gift card in your wallet for a venue that you really don’t care for?
- like to shop or put together themed baskets?
If so, please consider donating item(s) or service(s) for use in this year’s Wags to Witches silent auction.
Here are a few ideas:
- Gift Cards or Gift Certificates (any amount welcomed and for any venue… restaurants, pet stores, department stores, groomers, fast food, etc. We can use anything!)
- Tickets or passes for weekend getaways, amusement parks, local & nearby attractions like the Nashville Zoo, Roxy, movie theaters, Nashville Symphony, etc.)
- Sporting Events Tickets or Memorabilia (i.e. Titans, Predators, APSU, UT, UK, etc.)

- Health/Body/Spa/Massage – gift certificates or baskets
