How It Works
We Start With
Your Audience
Every organization's patrons are different. Before we put together a single package, we sit down with you and listen. We want to know who your supporters are, what kinds of experiences excite them, and what kind of travel would make someone in that room raise their paddle without hesitation.
We Build
the Options
We go back and develop several custom travel package options. These are thoughtfully designed experiences with real destinations and details your patrons can picture themselves in. You review them, request any modifications, and give final approval. You have the last word on everything that goes into your auction. All packages are provided at our actual cost. No planning fees, no additional charges added on.
The Auction
Does The Work
Once the package is approved, it's yours to present to your audience. You set the opening bid above our package cost. Every dollar bid above the package price is raised revenue for your organization. The more your patrons compete for the experience, the more your cause benefits.
We Take It
From There
After the auction closes, you connect us with the winning bidder and we take it from there. From that point forward, Sunshine & Travel works directly with the winner to plan every detail of their trip. If they want to extend the trip, add an experience, or customize any element, they're welcome to.

Why It Works
The numbers make sense. The experience makes it memorable.
​
A travel package does something most auction items can't. It creates anticipation before the event, competition during the bidding, and a story that lives on long after. Patrons who win a travel experience don't just remember the trip. They remember where they were when they won it and they associate that feeling with you.
For Your Organization
You set the opening bid above our package cost. The winning bid is your fundraised revenue. We've partnered with many non-profits and local organizations and every auction has generated positive returns.
For Your Patrons
The winning bidder receives a fully planned, personally curated travel experience. Not a voucher they have to figure out. An actual trip, designed for them, with Sunshine & Travel handling every detail from flights and accommodation to experiences and transportation.
For The Relationships
Every winning bidder becomes a traveler we work with directly. That means they experience first-hand what personalized travel planning feels like. Many become repeat clients. Your auction doesn't just raise money for your cause. It introduces your supporters to something genuinely valuable.
