Our
Fundraising Services Program has over a Decade and
1,000 fundraisers of experience. We partner with over
100 organizations each year, including some of the
biggest names in fundraising. We've worked with the
49ers Foundation, Dream On Foundation, Make-A-Wish,
Special Olympics, Bryan Stow Foundation, The Guardsman
of San Francisco & many, many more. Our program
raised over $100,000 for the Giants Community Fund
alone. Let us partner with you!

At
Sports Gallery, the difference, and advantage for you, is our
unique,
diversified and classy sports art & collectibles.
Much like real estate is location, location, location, successful
auction fundraising is item, item item. And our selection of inventory
simply cannot be beat with both signed and unsigned displays in
all price ranges, representing both local and national appeal.
Our
Fundraising Services Staff, with years of experience in charity
auctions and school fundraiser events, will help you pick out
the items that are right for you and your audience. Our carefully
chosen auction items will have the greatest potential for big
contributions to your organization. And our items will look great,
not only generating bids but entertaining your guests as well.
EVERYONE loves to check out
our unique sports collectibles! We will also provide recommendations
and ideas on bid prices, bid sheet design, item display, and,
most importantly, will compose item descriptions that
sell!
And
the best part is our offer is no
risk.
Our items are provided to your event free of charge. If no one
bids on an item (not likely!), you can return it at no cost to
you. We even donate
30% of the price! You will make money with the first bid
and have unlimited upward potential depending on the bidding activity.
We often have single items that make the organizations 2x and
3x the items worth. Our Sports Collectibles are THAT
good.
| We
even can help you promote your event using our website,
e-blast, facebook & twitter and, in certain situations,
our television advertisements on Comcast Sports.
As
mentioned, we work with over 100 nonprofit organizations,
university athletic departments and schools annually. And
no fundraiser is too big or to small. Put simply, this
is what we do. Here are just a few of the organizations
that have taken advantage of our "No-Risk"
user-friendly program to meet their fundraising goals: |

| The
Sports Gallery provided the perfect "middle"
and "high" end items for our annual
auction. It increased our bottom line in revenue
by about 35% - that's $5,000 for our preschool!
It also increased our attendance by advertising
that we would have the sports memorabilia on display.
Our children and teachers will benefit tremendously
from the contribution that was available to us
through using the Sports Gallery. PLUS, Sports
Gallery's expertise with the various items was
extremely helpful. This is the beginning of a
lasting business relationship and East Hills Preschool
couldn't be happier. We wouldn't consider having
another auction without Sports Gallery's services! |

| Having
Sports Gallery memorabilia items at our event
not only visually enhanced our silent auction,
it gave the entire event a "classier"
feel. The staff at Sports Gallery was extremely
helpful and attentive to my questions and concerns!
Sports Gallery helped take our fundraising event
at Pacific Bell Park to the next level and contributed
to our huge success! |

| Sports
Gallery served as such an amazing resource for
our silent auction! Having such fabulous sports
memorabilia not only added value and authenticity
to our event, but garnered much excitement amongst
bidders.
The
staff at Sports Gallery is incredibly easy to
work with and knows what items will benefit
the charity or organization most. We would highly
recommend this "exchange" program
to any and all organizations. |

| Sports
Gallery items were a great addition to our Auction
at St. Elizabeth's. They are all high quality
items that present very well. There are price
ranges for all budgets - both for the lower budget
sports fanatic, to the no budget limit serious
collector. It also allowed us to appeal to the
male attendees of all ages at our event. We will
definitely include them as a part of our Auction
in the future. |

| The
Tim Griffith Foundation appreciates the support
we receive from the Sports Gallery - especially
Kristie. They have provided sports memorabilia
for our annual gala the past 6-years. They are
easy to work with and have become a part of the
"TGF family". This has enabled us to
draw more attendees for the event. Their merchandise
is great and very desirable to our attendees!
Thanks for your continued support Sports Gallery.

| Not
having worked with Sports Gallery previously I
didn't know what to expect. I was pleasantly surprised
at how easy the whole process was. I received
knowledgeable support in selecting the memorabilia
items, gathered logistic info on how to properly
display the items for the best presentation, and
billing was very simple. The entire process exceeded
my expectations and I look forward to working
with the knowledgeable Sports Gallery staff again. |

|
|
| |
| We know organizing
a fundraiser is hard work. We're here to help. |
| |
| how
it works |
| |
| If
you are are in the early planning stages of your fundraising event
or auction, contact Sports Gallery. The earlier we are involved,
the more options we'll have on your Sports Items. But that being
said, don't hesitate to contact us last minute. We're very accustomed
to 11th hour pleas for help and do it regurlarly...just about
every weekend.

And even if your fundraiser is good to go but you just need a
little more pizzazz in your Sports offerings, don't hesitate to
drop us a line. No notice is too short or request to small for
us to be able to help you make your event an even bigger success!
Once
you contact us
here is how it will work:
-
Our
Auction Program
Manager will begin working with you immediately
to better understand your event and how Sports Gallery can
assist. You'll be encouraged to browse
this site or, better yet, come in to one of our
stores to see the types of unique sports collectibles we have
to offer. But if you don't have time, don't worry. We'll take
care of it. We'll make sure you have just the right pieces
for your audience and auction goals.
IMPORTANT!
No money is paid
to Sports Gallery until the completion of your event and we
only collect payment on those items that are sold at your
event making this completely no-risk
for you and your organization!
-
After
we've decided on the items for your event, we can help you
set the bid price, provide you with detailed descriptions
that sell for each item, and assist with bid sheet design
and item display if needed. We'll use our years of auction
experience to help you market your Sports Gallery collectibles
so that they will garner the highest bids possible.

-
Best
of all, we donate 30% of the price so you can start the bidding
at 30% below retail - an attractive price to get
things rolling. And the difference between that starting figure
and the eventual winning bid ALL goes to your organization.
The potential for sizable contributions to your fundraiser
is remarkable and virtually unlimited!
-
And what makes it remarkable is our items. Compare them to
others you have seen and you know what we are talking about.
You won't find a piece like the unsigned Niners display above...anywhere.
And this piece kills it at auctions. Put simply, our items
get bids!
- Before
your event we'll work out arrangements for delivery or pick
up of your collectibles. If your event is not in the San Francisco
Bay Area, we'll work with you on shipment. After the event,
you can return the items that did not sell. We'll then partner
with you to evaluate the event and calculate the earnings from
the Sports Gallery items.
Most importantly, we'll make sure the event was a Win-Win-Win
(your attendees, your organization, and Sports Gallery)!
Simply
put our goals are twofold:
| 1. |
Make
your organization money; and |
|
| |
|
| 2. |
Make
the process as easy and painless a process as possible for
you. |
| |
|
Utilizing
our experience and expertise in charity auctions and fundraisers,
we're confident we can meet both our objectives. |
| |
| |
| no-risk
guarantee
|
| |
| Few
things in life are risk-free but Sports Gallery's Auction Program
is one.
It's
simple...you take a selection of our unique sports collectibles
for your auction and if no one bids on any of our collectibles,
you pay nothing for those unsold items. Simply return them after
the event.
There
is no payment to Sports Gallery for the items prior to your event...
we only require payment on those items that sell at your event.
And even then we donate 30% of the
retail price allowing you to start the bidding at an
attractive price and maximize your organization's profits from
the items. You will make money with the first bid with unlimited
upward potential for more!
So
if you are having a fundraising auction, contact us and let us
walk you through our Auction Program. There's nothing to lose
and so much for you and your organization to gain. |
