I think it would be a huge benefit to you if the organization running the auction would let you actually demo at the event. Set up an easel beside the finished framed sample piece and work on another painting during the event. For you to simply attend and stand around near your stuff might be kind of awkward and wouldn't be very productive, I believe. Many organizations won't let you attend and demo however, but it's very worthwhile to ask.
There are many other threads about the best/easiest way to do a demonstration in public. You can make it easy on yourself if you bring an almost-finished painting and spend the time mostly dabbing at the shirt or hair and waving your brush around and pontificating. (Thanks to Mike McCarty for this idea!)
