And what's more fun and engaging than organizing a Befana or year-end charity auction at home? The art of recycling is synonymous with creative, engaging art that keeps the wellbeing of the planet and its inhabitants. Let's learn to put into practice the various possibilities of expression!

In this case, the proceeds of the sale were all donated to the association Peter Pan Onlus, to Caritas and to the Congregation of the Missionaries of Charity Contemplative Brothers.

How does the auction benefit?

But there is no need for institutions to organize a charity auction at home. You too can organize an auction with recycled items in a simple and really fun way . What is needed?

  • A nice group of friends and that everyone brings a couple of objects or gifts that they don't know what to do or that they didn't like. One of these friends, the most witty and goliardic, will be the presenter of the objects and auctioneer; while another person will dedicate himself to beating the gong with a wooden spoon and a lid in his hand to award the items. A third friend will mark the various purchases made from time to time
  • A spacious room, lots of cushions to put on the floor, a sofa and chairs on one side for the participants in the auction. A nice table on the other, where the presents will be presented, beat the gong, mark the figures
  • Bags and bags to then distribute the objects to the various people who participated in the auction, a marker and some sheets to put the name on the bags, a box (a shoe box) where to collect the money
  • Food : you can organize for a pre-auction beneficial aperitif, everyone brings something to drink or eat, it will be even more fun

The value of recycled objects

The auction can start from a minimum of 50 cents and you will be surprised to see how the most unlikely items will eventually be the most desired, so that the participants will re-launch considerable sums and compete for them! The charity auction with objects recycled from birthdays or Christmas presents from previous years not only represents a moment of involvement and union between people, but increases the importance and value of helping each other in difficult times like the one you are facing. Everything is about knowing how to accurately choose who (organization, association, school, orphanage, etc.) to direct the proceeds .
