BIDDING FOR ROCKETS TICKETS, DINNER AT FIRE STATION 28 AND OTHER PRIZES NOW OPEN Check out the Combined Municipal Campaign's online auction
WHAT
More than 200 items are being auctioned to benefit CMC charities. The CMC is the city's annual workplace charity drive supporting 768 organizations. Available items include two great Rockets tickets, dinner at Fire Station 28, tickets to theater district and entertainment events, helicopter rides with HPD, and dinner with Controller Annise Parker.
Proceeds go to organizations helping those in need in our community. Last year, city employees gave more than $550,000 to help those less fortunate.
There's something for everyone: winning bidders can learn pointers at former Comet Monica Lamb's basketball skills clinic or play a leisurely round of golf with Buck Buchanan, the city's Solid Waste Management director; or, for those who prefer a more passive sports experience, there's two tickets to the UT-Baylor football game and a Texans ultimate fan gift basket featuring a koozie, cup, rally towel, car logo, and two $60 tickets to the game vs. the Indianapolis Colts. Bidders can buy jewelry for Valentine's Day and for the kids' Christmas stockings or they can take in a show, be it theater or opera.
With these and many more items, this guilt-free shopping spree could benefit everyone.
