2nd Annual Operation Bootstrap Africa Fundraiser Auction!



Those that follow this blog may remember last year's photography package auction to support a great cause, Operation Bootstrap Africa. Well, its that time of year again. I am a little late on getting this started so we'll need to push it hard to get the auction going before the walk. This year it will take place June 7th. Walkers and supporters can meet at 5:15 at the courthouse in Fergus Falls. This is the 24th year we have had a walk supporting this cause here in Fergus. Remember to keep in mind proceeds directly benefit the children of Ketumbeine, Africa. Like last year, I will have a wall photo on the Holly D Photography Facebook page where the bidding will take place. That is where the most up to date amounts will be shown, but if you would like to place a bid via this blog or e-mail please do so and I will update the graphic with the amount you have bid. My church has always been involved with this event so I hope to generate a great donation to add to the cause. Lets beat what we did last year-- the winning bid was $180 -lets shatter the record!



Photography Package Details:
*Full photography session with Holly D Photography for up to 4 people
*A CD of 20, fully edited, full resolution images from your session with printing release
*A 5x5 custom designed, spiral bound session album using the photos of your choice on front and back covers, including 10 photo pages inside

This session fee and package is valued at $500, lets start the bidding at $125


Bidding starts today 5.26.11 at noon and the final bid will be accepted at 9:00 p.m. Sunday June 5th. The winner must pay for the session by Monday June 6th 5:00 p.m. by cash, check, or credit/debit card. The session may be scheduled at any time.
