Auctions have been an integral part of all the Pakula Friendlies. Donations are gathered by committee members, PF entrats and Marlin Bar forum members.
100% of the proceeds goes directly to charities in involved in Cancer. The beneficiaries of all profits go to the National Breast Cancer Foundation and Camp Quality

There are two types of auctions that are historically part of the Pakula Friendly. There is the on-line auction where items are put up on The Pakula Friendly Pages, and there are items donated to be auctioned off at the venues during the get togethers. The item sponsor can choose which they prefer the items to be actioned at or leave it up to the committee.

The Letter to The Sponsor outlines sponsorship. Anyone can donate something for the auction.
