GCSU Athletic Auction: Success!

This past weekend was the 11th annual Georgia College & State University Athletic auction coordinated by my Public Relations Administration class. This is the athletics department largest fundraiser. The theme was motorcycle themed and titled"Thunder Rolls." Take a look at a few pictures

Our class was designed the invitation and flyers, wrote press releases, decorated the entrance, came up with the table scape, decided the menu, and did various others tasks for the event. Everyone worked so well together and the event ran so smoothly because our class was so prepared. Not to mention our publicity obviously worked because some people dressed up in motorcycle attire for the event. 

There were about 300 attendees, silent and live auction and reverse raffle. The auction was held in the Centennial Center. My class had event staff shirts made so we stuck out easily and it unified us. 

Personally I had a great time at the auction, because of class was so well prepared we were able to enjoy ourselves during the event, no crisis management needed. We even got to goof off and take class pictures on the motorcycles.

I wish we could do it again next year because we would dominate the auction 2 years in a row and we now know how everything works and could do even better. Our class is diverse and everyone has their speciality to the group that we make quite the event planning team. 

I love our PR Admin class!!
