Without the need for bidding sheets, Design Foundry could display the local dining gift certificates and plaques on a mixture of shelves and crates attached to one of the gallery walls. This provided a better vantage point for multiple guests to view the items at once, like in a museum, compared to a table arrangement where only one guest can view an item at a time.

Ronald McDonald Charities of Chicagoland and Northwest Indiana's Annual Dinner Gala
The nonprofit hosted its annual gala on March 5 at the University of Illinois at Chicago Forum. The evening had a "Mission: Possible" theme that inspired a unique presentation of raffle tickets. During the cocktail hour, "Change Agents" wearing suits and sunglasses sold raffle tickets bearing numerical codes. One guest's ticket had a code that unlocked a suitcase displayed on the silent auction table. Within the suitcase was a ticket for the evening's grand prize: a week-long stay in Hawaii.

Event staff scan guests' wristbands to record their donations. The system then automatically emails an invoice to the guest.
