Mobile Bidding
This Guest Chef Gainesville, we are stepping up your auction experience by replacing paper bidding with mobile bidding.   This will make it easier for you to bid on the items you want while enjoying the program and visiting with our guest chefs! You will be able to place bids through your mobile device or one of our mobile bidding stations, search for items of interest, and stay up to date on the status of your favorite items! Guests can conveniently donate from their device as well! Make sure to charge up your phone beforehand! There will be staff available to assist you, but we have no doubt you will find
this very user friendly.

Would you consider donating to our silent auction?

One of our most anticipated Guest Chef activities includes a large silent auction featuring over 75 baskets, gift sets, local artisan pieces, and a variety of business services. Would you please help us make this coming year’s Guest Chef auction the most memorable to date? 

 

Auction items that work well are small specialty items, gift certificates, and merchandise, valued at $25-$2,000, that are reflective of your business. Your auction item donation will be recognized on www.guestchefgainesville.com and on signage at the event.

 

If you would like to learn more about this and/or donate, please contact Stephanie Freas at guestchef@peacefulpaths.org or at 352.377.5690.  Ready to donate now? Just click the donate button below and let us know how you can help support our mission via the silent (or live auctions).

Help us build up our wine wall on Friday, Feb. 28!
Join us this Friday at our first  "wineraiser" at The Perfect Gift in Haile Plantation on Friday, Feb. 28 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m! Stop by and help us raise our wine wall while tasting some great featured wines and enjoying some light appetizers and fun raffles.

For those that were not at Guest Chef last year, you may wonder what a wine wall is!  At the top of this email you can see the beautiful wine wall raffle display with over 100 donated bottles of wine.  Each of the covered bottles retailed at $20-$250. Guests purchased raffle tickets and and everyone went home a winner with a bottle and some went home with MANY bottles :-)

This week's event at the Perfect Gift is a fun way to help us! Wine bottles purchased there and donated to Peaceful Paths will be sold at a 15% discount off their already great prices. Our staff will be there to collect the bottles and donors get entered into one of our awesome raffles!

Invite your friends and be sure to stop by. If you can't make it, or you want to host your own "wineraiser" for us at your home or business, it's not too late. We hope to have all donated wine by March 12. Please contact Stephanie Freas @ stephanief@peacefulpaths.org if you'd like to donate or organize an event!
