Boulder Community Stars 2008

Next week is The Community Foundation Boulder County Community Stars Event. TheSociety.com and Peak Properties have teamed up and dontated a 4 day/3 night getaway in one of several elite mountain homes in Vail. The retail value is $3,000. In addition to the Vail home there are

• Four Madonna Concert Tickets
• Manzanillo, Mexico Luxury Villa Vacation
• 2 two-night stays at the Ritz-Carlton (one in Denver and one in Bachelor Gultch)

It should be a great evening. In light of fund raising, I’m curious to see how a select number of auction items performs vs. offering 50+ mediocre items with one or two big ticket items. If you have any insights or thoughts please leave a comment below.
