Bid for Brotherhood
The Foundation will host its first-ever Bid
for Brotherhood (B4B) in conjunction
with the 62nd Grand Chapter to be held in Indianapolis,
Indiana on July 15-19, 2006. The B4B is
a live and silent auction, which will be held
on July 14 to kick off the Grand Chapter. In addition,
50-60 days prior to the event, alumni and members
will have the opportunity to view and bid on the
items via an online site. So, you don't have to
make it to Grand Chapter to be part of B4B!
We already have received many wonderful auction
items including:
|
A
pearl and onyx membership badge |
|
Custom
bottles of Maker's Mark bourbon |
|
One-week
stay at a condo in the Bahamas |
|
5
nights lodging in Manhattan near Carnegie
Hall, just south of Central Park |
| |
A pheasant / quail hunting trip and tickets
to a Big 10 football game in Iowa |
Chapters and alumni are encouraged
to support this event. Ideal donations include:
frequent flyer miles / points, vacation rentals,
sporting event tickets and autographed memorabilia.
Alumni living in the Indianapolis area are encouraged
to contribute items of local interest for those
attendees who are from the area. Click
here for a complete list of additional
auction item suggestions.
Alumni who own a business can have their contributed
items linked to their company's website. Also, sponsors
will be listed on the auction website (with links
to businesses) as well as included in the printed
materials at the actual event.
All donations are tax-deductible to the declared
value of the item. Those interested in donating
a service, trip or other item in support of the
Bid for Brotherhood should contact James
Owens.
If you have plans to attend Grand Chapter, make
sure you arrive by the 14th so that you can attend
B4B. For those who cannot make Grand Chapter,
future issues of The Rock will include instructions
for entering the online auction site!
Every member of Sigma Nu is invited to attend this
exciting event that will raise funds to serve our
brotherhood. Proceeds from the event will benefit
the Sigma Nu Educational Foundation which underwrites
the educational and leadership programs of the Fraternity.
