Broadway Magic: From Table to Spotlight — VIP Dinner with a Star + Orchestra Seats (2 Nights/2 Guests)

Iconic Broadway street view in New York City with theater lights and marquees, promoting Charity Travel Packages for fundraising auctions.

If your donors love bucket-list experiences, this charity travel package is a show-stopper. Our Broadway VIP auction package puts two guests in the heart of New York City for 2 nights at the Kimpton Theta, then takes them from dinner on Restaurant Row to orchestra seats at the Broadway show of their choice—with a meet & greet and photo with a cast member they’ll just dined with. This is the kind of no-risk, high-impact fundraising travel experience that electrifies live auctions, silent auctions, online auctions, and raffle grand prizes.

What’s Included (Overview)

• 2 nights for 2 guests at Kimpton Theta New York (steps to Broadway, Times Square, Rockefeller Center)

• All-inclusive pre-show dinner on Broadway’s Restaurant Row

• Meet & greet + photo with a cast member from the show

• Two Orchestra Seats to the Broadway production of your choice

Why This Raises More Money

Travel packages dominate donor demand and consistently rank among the top-selling charity auction items because supporters crave memorable experiences.

• Broadway insider experiences (dinner with cast + premium tickets) are proven donor magnets across the industry—this format is a winner.

• Even competitor testimonials highlight how travel experiences can drive a significant share of event profits—another reason to feature a marquee travel item.

• With risk-free consignment, your nonprofit pays only if the package sells.

Pro tip for committees: feature this as your marquee live auction item, add strong paddle-raiser tie-ins, and spotlight it in pre-event marketing to spark advance bids and RSVPs.

Perfect For

• Live Auction headliner

• Silent Auction premium lot (display the photo-op + “dine with a star” angle)

• Online Auction hero item with video teaser

• Raffle Grand Prize to boost ticket sales

🏖️ Why Charity Auction Vacation Packages Are Different From Retail Travel

Over the past 16 years, I’ve helped nonprofits across the United States plan and execute powerful fundraising events, from full-scale event strategy to running live charity auctions that raise serious money. One issue continues to come up, especially with charity auction travel packages, and it's something every nonprofit and fundraiser needs to understand before their next event.

🧳 How Fundraising Travel Packages Work, and Why They Raise More

At www.CharityTravelPackages.com, we operate as a full-service travel agency, staffed with real agents who guide your winning bidders from start to finish. What makes our approach unique is that we focus entirely on the nonprofit fundraising space, providing risk-free consignment travel packages that consistently outperform other auction items.

When your organization includes exciting, all-inclusive vacation packages in your charity auction, you elevate your gala beyond anything else in your area. These are top-performing donor experience packages that trigger emotional bids and make your nonprofit stand out.

💰 Charity Pricing vs Retail Pricing, Know the Difference

In a typical retail setting, you go to a travel agency, and the trip includes a significant profit margin. You pay the retail price, and the agency keeps the markup.

But in our world, the nonprofit auction world, it’s the opposite.

At CharityTravelPackages.com, we intentionally lower the cost to nonprofit far below retail value. Why? Because our mission is to help your charity raise the most money possible. Many of our packages include exclusive experiences like guided tours, wine tastings, deep sea fishing, private golf, and more, all curated for donor appeal and not mass tourism.

That’s the key difference. You’re not buying from a catalog. You’re unlocking fundraising auction packages designed to create maximum value for your cause.

🖼️ Each Vacation Package Comes Ready to Sell

Every travel package from us includes:

• A professional auction placard

• All details clearly outlined, including blackout dates and inclusions

• High-quality photos of the resort or accommodations

• Clear starting bid information

We increase the nonprofit cost by just 20 percent so from the very first bid, your organization is making a profit. And when bidding takes off, as it often does, 100 percent of the overage goes straight to your nonprofit.

😕 But Here’s Where Confusion Happens…

Let’s say you include our “Beach Lover’s Collection” package in your gala. It’s a 4-star beachfront all-inclusive resort for two people, four nights, with taxes and gratuities included. The starting bid is $1,900, but a generous donor wins it for $3,500.

Even though the auction placard was displayed all night and the auctioneer clearly explained what’s included, the winning bidder sometimes assumes that, because they bid so far above the starting price, they will receive an upgraded package.

They assume:

• A 5-star resort instead of 4-star

• More nights instead of four

• Extra excursions added in

• Room upgrades or airfare included

But that’s not how consignment auction travel packages for fundraisers work.

🧠 This Is a Donation, Not a Deal

What nonprofits often overlook is this. Your guests sometimes attend a charity auction looking for a deal, not realizing they’re making a donation. The moment they win and start Googling retail prices, they might feel like they overpaid, unless you educate them ahead of time.

That’s where clear framing and professional auctioneer messaging come in.

🎤 What Every Nonprofit Needs to Do

As a professional charity auctioneer and the founder of BWUnlimited.com, CharityTravelPackages.com, and GeorgeWooden.com, I’ve been part of thousands of benefit auctions. Here’s what I recommend.

✅ 1. Educate Bidders Before the Auction

Make it clear that they are donating to your cause, not purchasing a discounted vacation. Use language like:

“Every dollar above the starting bid helps fund our mission. These packages are made available to nonprofits to raise money, not to compete with retail travel.”

✅ 2. Display All Auction Items Throughout the Event

Place placards and trip information on tables, entranceways, and near the auctioneer. Let guests review exactly what they’re bidding on before the excitement kicks in.

✅ 3. Use a Professional Auctioneer Who Can Set the Right Tone

It’s our job to frame the moment correctly, to keep the energy high, but to remind donors that their generosity is supporting a mission, not scoring a discount.

🚀 In Summary, Charity Travel Packages Are Still Your Best Fundraising Weapon

Done right, these no-risk travel packages raise more than any gift basket or donated spa card. They’re consistently the top-performing items in nonprofit auctions, and when bidders understand the value and the purpose, they’ll feel good about bidding high.

And when they bid high?
You win. Your mission wins. And your guests walk away feeling amazing.

How to Price and Promote Charity Travel Packages at Your Fundraiser

✍️ Intro Paragraph

Offering charity travel packages at your fundraising event is one of the most powerful ways to drive high bids and donor excitement — but many nonprofits lose money or momentum simply because they don’t know how to price or promote them correctly.

In this post, we’ll walk you through exactly how to price your travel auction items, and how to get donors engaged before the event even begins. Whether you're planning a gala, school auction, or virtual fundraiser, this strategy works — and it’s 100% risk-free.

💰 Part 1: How to Price Your Travel Packages for Maximum Success

When using consignment travel packages, you don’t pay anything upfront. Instead, you pay the base price only if the item sells, and keep 100% of the profit above that cost.

Our recommended pricing model:

✅ Start the bidding at 20%–30% above base cost

Example:

• Base cost to your nonprofit: $1,595

• Recommended starting bid: $1,895 – $2,095

• Average winning bid: $2,600+

📌 This gives you:

• A guaranteed profit from the first bid

• A fair and transparent starting price for donors

• The potential for $800–$1,500+ in profit on a single item

✅ Never start at the base cost — it feels too low and kills momentum.

📣 Part 2: How to Promote Travel Packages Before & During the Event

You can’t sell what your donors don’t see or understand. Promotion = power.

✅ Pre-Event Checklist:

• Add the travel package titles & highlights to your event website

• Post teaser graphics and PDF placards on social media

• Mention the destinations in your email campaign (“Win a trip to Napa!”)

• Share the “no-risk” model to generate confidence (“Only one winner, but it raises big dollars”)

✅ At the Event:

• Use display placards (we provide them for every package)

• Have your MC or auctioneer explain the trip live

• Emphasize exclusivity: “You won’t find this in stores or online”

💡 Bonus Tip: Run a silent auction bid sheet for travel packages even during dinner to keep energy up.

You don’t need a big donor list or fancy setup to win with travel. You just need to:

• Price it right

• Promote it clearly

• Offer something worth bidding on

With no-risk charity travel packages, there’s nothing to lose — and thousands of dollars to gain.
