I am from the Jersey shore equal distance from NYC and Philly. I was wondering who in this area has had luck and with what companies. Our fundraiser always seems to have the same donors.

Hi-

To anyone who had success getting a donation from Amtrak:

How long did it take for a reply? I haven't heard anything and it's been nearly two months since I applied online.

Thanks.

The Disney tickets are supposed to be used in a silent or live auction. They have a very long application to fill out, and they are very specific with how they want it used. If they find out you have broken the rules, they will not donate to you again in the future. We get them every year and they do very well at auction. There are lots of places that specify their donations are to be used in an auction only. I am a rule follower and also I figure if they are going to give me product for free, I can go along with their plan

Yes! We did last year and I applied this year. It seemed to take forever. I requested 3 months before our event and the certificate came 2 days before the event Be patient.

Thank you! Fingers crossed!

I've had good luck with calling the G.M.'s of Major hotels or resorts and asking them to help with putting together packages in their area. Persistence pays off!
