Holly, does your charity event have both life and silent auctions? The event I am participating in next month was interested enough to include my donation in their life auction because they were able to establish relevance of my donation (painting of classical musicians) with the nature of their group gathering (group of mainly classical music enthusiasts).
I found the advice to do so here and it really worked for my benefit in this instance. I almost feel that I can rest the issue of proper exposure to the event handlers because they are interested in using the donation to their best advantage which ultimately works out for me too. Therefore, I don't really feel the desire to force my way into participating in the actual event.
