You can further assist the Zoo by making or arranging for the
donation of one or more Auction items. Fine wine is, of course, the focus of
this event, and we have auctioned off numerous exceptional wines from some of
the finest cellars in the Midwest. We would love to count your cellar among
them. If you’d like to donate some of your own “elegant vintages” we can assure
you they will find good homes in fellow wine-lovers’ collections.
The Auction can’t happen without you. Be creative and dig deep. We
need you!
Some of the most sought-after Auction lots are gourmet dinners at
restaurants or private homes (the donor’s or the bidder’s) with wine provided
by the donor. This is a chance to really show off your cellar! But donations
need not be limited to wine. Every year attendees have the opportunity to bid
on outstanding vacation packages, art, jewelry, wine tastings, event tickets,
sports packages, collectibles and other unique experiences.
If you feel you have nothing to donate, never fear! Your cash
donation will allow us to source collectible wines from Kahn's Fine Wines at
deep discounts, and we will offer these wines at auction as your donation.
Thanks to the generosity of our guests, these lots have historically brought
two to five times the donor’s original cash amount!
Donations are tax-deductible to the fullest extent of the law and
all donors will be recognized in the manner they choose in the Auction catalog.
The deadline for donations is Feb. 1, 2019.
Please contact Liz Mok at 317-630-2188 or lmok@indyzoo.com if you have
questions or to arrange for the collection of your donation.
Net proceeds from the Auction benefit the Indianapolis Zoo, one of
the largest zoos in the United States that receives no direct tax support. The
Zoo excels in a broad range of activities and is a leader in animal
conservation.
We thank you in advance for your most generous support and look
forward to seeing you on March 23, 2019 at the Twenty-First Annual Elegant
Vintages International Wine Auction presented by Fifth Third Private Bank.
