Silent Auction was a Roaring Success!

We did it! And by ‘we’ I am referring to Nike, Nikassi, Paramount and Bauer Graphics. In two weeks time we were all able to work together to put together a silent auction to support Big Brothers Big Sisters.

The day went smoother than silk. Nikassi beer was there with a keg of their finest and more than 30 auctions were available and getting populated fast. Bauer Graphics provided the food, posters and bid sheets for the auction. Our friend Danielle from Paramount stepped in at the last minute to help out with the printing.

Tony the T-man coordinated and emceed the entire event and handled everything exceptionally down to the last minutes of each auction. DJ Brad Mos-en-beats was on hand to put together a genius list of music that included one of our fave-raves; the Beastie Boys. New father Dr. G.C. Davies was on hand and on “Nikassi tap detail” throughout the event. Everything and everyone on Nike’s end was simply stellar.

Our own resident designer J. Yeager was on hand to auction off his ‘blank stare at a white wall’ mannequin skills. Unfortunately, we did not have a bid sheet printed up for him so he stood perfectly still for three hours for no reason whatsoever.

All jokes aside, the auction raised a lot of money for a good cause. More importantly, the event raised a tremendous amount of spirit and good feelings. We can’t wait till the next opportunity to help out with another worthy cause.
