UCSF Community service auction


I wanted to devote some blog space to talking about the UCSF School of pharmacy spring auction that we are hosting. So basically, we go out into Sunset, Union Square, and Haight to inquire if local businesses and restaurants would be interested in donating to our Spring Auction that will be held May 31st at 3:30pm in the MU conference center.

I have been working pretty hard on obtaining donations for our Spring community service auction. Look at what I have accomplished in such a short amount of time. Hopefully we get a good turn out and raise a lot of money.

Descriptions of Auction items that I personally was able to get:

Location: UCSF

Manager does not have an ad, so Nathan can refer to the website?

Company: Benefit Cosmetics
Donation: $1000 After Hours Benefit Boutique Party
How obtain: will mail to Stephanie Zi tomarrow or day after (their office is in SF so you should recieve it by the beginning of next week
Further details:
I confirmed with Angelica over the phone that they're definitely going to do this party. We don't deal with the PR office about arranging it, the "winner" is supposed to contact the boutique and arrange the party. Stephanie will recieve the details about the boutique contact. The gift certificate has all the details of the party, and the PR rep was in a hurry, so I don't have any further details about the event. I know so far that it includes a choice of lip or eyebrow waxing; appetizers and champagne are served.

We can either auction 15 invitations, 7 invitations for you and a friend, or auction the whole thing. I think 15 invitations will optimize profit. Here are 2 boutique locations in SF for your reference. https://exchange.ucsf.edu/exchweb/bin/redir.asp?URL=http://www.chestnutshop.com/pages/benefit.html
