Submit an auction contribution
SUBMISSION DEADLINE:
Thursday, Oct. 10, 2024
we’re accepting final auction items through Thursday, Oct. 17!
The goals of the #TeamJose online auction are to:
- create connections between people who know and love José
- encourage others to #LiveLikeJosé through immersive experiences—especially activities rooted in food, music, art, nature, and discovery—and trying new things
- raise funds to support José and Jen, allowing them to continue making decisions based on the best care options available for people living with ALS
There are three main types of items or experiences you may contribute to the auction:
- an in person experience to be hosted on the island of Oahu, or in Orlando, Florida (suggested by Nov. 22, 2024 but there is no hard deadline–that said, if it doesn’t happen by year’s end there’s a greater likelihood it will never happen!)
- a virtual experience hosted from wherever you are in the world
- an item (or items) that you will ship via postal mail to the winning recipient
