Welcome to ThinkTV’s 2010 GreatTVAuction!  This fundraiser benefiting the ThinkTVNetwork airs April 19-24, 2010 from 6-11pm Monday through Thursday and 6-midnight on Friday and Saturday.  You can bid on-line now!  On-line bids are automatically updated, and will be accepted through the close of the Auction on April 24th.  You may choose to watch the Auction on both ThinkTV16 and ThinkTV14 while bidding.  Opening bids on all auction items begin at approximately 35% of donor value.

Big Changes…More to Offer You…

Whether you’re a returning bidder or this is your first time participating on-line with the GreatTVAuction, you’ll be bound to notice how easy it is to find what you’re looking for.  This year, DaytonDailyNews.com, our online partner, will again feature all of the Auction’s Major Gifts including items on the Super Board valued at $2,500 and up; the Big Board ($1,000-$1,999) and the Tonight Board  ($500-$999).   All major gifts listed will have complete item descriptions so that you have all the information you need to plan your Auction bidding.

On both sites you will find a list of General Merchandise over $500 donors.  These items will be available for television bid only during the televised Auction, April 19th through 24th.  You can also view Pick-Up & Pay Hours, Underwriters, Cash, Inkind and Food Contributors, and Overbid Incentives.  We’re even featuring information on how your company can reap the promotional benefits of becoming a part of the GreatTVAuction.

If you choose to bid on-line:

Once the Auction airs on television (ThinkTV16 and ThinkTV14), you may want to tune in to watch your bids simultaneously.  Here is how it works – once you place a bid on-line, the volunteers post your bid on the written boards in the studios.  You can watch the television for updates of your bids and continue if you so choose.  Keep in mind, there are 25 phones in the studios taking phone bids at the same time you are bidding on-line, so you want to bid high and bid fast!  The high bidder will receive a confirmation call within two hours after the item is sold.

Background on Auction:

The GreatTVAuction is celebrating 33 years as a premier event in the Miami Valley.  This website exists to allow the user to participate in our televised event, via another media.  All proceeds from the televised fund-raising event directly benefit the ThinkTVNetwork.  Thousands of volunteers make this event happen.  Donors from national, regional and local corporations contribute items for auction and sponsorship dollars to pay for this event.  If you are interested in getting your company involved, call the Auction Office at (937) 220-1668.  There is no better way to promote your business than through this one-of-a-kind televised event.  The ThinkTVNetwork covers 31 counties in Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky and over TWO million households tune in each week.
