Discover how TravelPledge Auctions helps you raise more at your tournament

Set up a simple online auction

Enter some golf tournament details, upload donated items, and select some TravelPledge experiences. Then open the bidding to golfers. We'll keep bidding fun with outbid notifications, Buy it Now, and "popcorn" bidding.

Collect donations and sell fixed price items

Specify your fund-a-need or "paddle raise" denominations and watch the donations roll in! Offer items like donated gift cards for a fixed price, and we'll promote them until they sell out.

During and after your online auction, view your dashboard to learn how much you've raised and who has paid for their items. Additionally, add absentee bids, mark multiple winning bidders, resend invoices, and more.
