In 13 years of donating items to charity auctions, I have never once received a free invite to the event. The charities are usually happy to give me an invite, but expect payment if I want to attend - the same as they would charge anybody else. I can see their point - they just want to make money for their organization, but from my point of view, I can't afford to donate and item AND pay to attend their event. How do you get manage a free invite? Thanks. I was interested in your article and curious as to scoring an invitation to the event.
