One individual reading this article can make all of the above happen. Ducks Unlimited has created a national program to serve as a stand alone chapter fund-raiser. This program is the Sealed Bid Auction. It employs a tried and proven auction method, using one of our most popular products, framed art.

The SBA program is built around a simple process. An easel displaying an attractive framed print is provided by Ducks Unlimited and placed on auction in a high-traffic retail location. At the end of the bidding period, the bids are examined and the winning bidder is notified. Ducks Unlimited provides the prints, easels and all support material to make this successful in your community. Ducks Unlimited also has staff that will walk you through the program and get your chapter up and running. You can even choose your own art through a special volunteer web page with dozens of different prints and artist to choose from.

The SBA program is considered by many retailers as a partnership with DU and can help add value to the shopping experience. All funds raised from this program are credited to the chapter and state. The SBA program is an excellent way to solicit new committee members and involve existing members up for a new challenge.

If you are that person or Area Chairman call 1-864-583-9736 or email doneal@ducks.org. Senior Regional Director Dan O’Neal can explain the program in detail and can have the chapter up and running within two weeks. Even if you are not currently involved with Ducks Unlimited, give us a call. One phone call can make a difference in preserving our wetlands.
