Sir Bobby Robson Golf Classic

Total Raised: 12,144

The term ‘Legend’ is often overused, but in terms of Sir Bobby Robson, never has there been a better-fitting word to describe a man. More than just a football manager who managed his country (England), he was also dedicated to fundraising, charity and making young people’s live better. His passion and desire for giving back and helping people has transcended to the rest of Sir Bobby’s family who now host ‘The Annual Sir Bobby Robson Golf Classic’ to honour Sir Bobby’s legacy and to continue the amazing work of helping young people have a better life, and it is our honour to be able to support the Robson family with our Silent Auction service. 

Taking place in Vila Sol, Portugal – one of a few countries that Sir Bobby managed in – 150 people come together, from fans, family and friends in football to enjoy a weekend of golf, that is concluded with a gala dinner full of amazing stories, entrainment, and fundraising.  

A Star Experience: Silent Auction Service

Every year we send a team of three staff out to Portugal to help the Sir Bobby Robson Foundation maximise the funds at the gala dinner through our Silent Auction service. The Robson family chose our ‘Silent Auction Brochure’ solution for their event, as they felt like this would be best suited to the guests in attendance. This solution is a completely risk-free option, as we provide this service completely for free!

Auction Brochure Design and Content

We designed an auction brochure to the same branding and specifications of the Sir Bobby Robson Foundation and populated the brochure with some of A Star Experiences’ luxury packages and memorabilia. We worked closely with the Robson family in the build-up to the auction to select the best 30 items from over 100 available that we thought would be most suited to the guests in attendance.

In addition, we also included some extra pages at the front of the brochure for the event organisers to use, to save them having to produce their own brochure as well, and to help keep costs down. On these pages were: a welcome message from the Robson family, sponsors logos, the menu, a seating plan, and an invite to next year’s event. All we asked for was any content, logos and pictures they wanted included, which was then passed to our design team to put this all together in the brochure for the Robson Family. Once they were happy with the design of the brochure, we printed one brochure for every guest in attendance, and the event team took these over to Portugal personally. This was all included as part of our service for free, and therefore completely risk-free for the Sir Bobby Robson Foundation, and it also means they are making money from the very first bid that comes in.

Long Term Partnership & Success

We have been working with the Sir Bobby Robson Foundation for a couple of years now and feel very privileged to do so. Before we started working with them, they informed us that the most they had ever raised was a little over £1,000 from the silent auction and were considering not doing one again. We are delighted to say that in each of the events that we have supported for the Sir Bobby Robson Foundation, the silent auction has raised over £10,000! They are a pleasure to support and we have built such a great relationship with the Robson family, and we look forward to supporting them in the years to come.

Still got some unanswered questions? Check out our FAQs below
What type of auction services do you offer?

We offer silent auction tablets, brochures, online auctions or a hybrid solution. But most importantly, we aim to tailor a package that meets the needs and requirements of your event. We would recommend getting in touch with one of the team today to tell us a little bit of information about what you are looking for from a fundraising partner. Our team will put together a free proposal for you on what we can offer.

Do I have to use A Star Experience auction items or can I use my own?

You absolutely can use your own. You’re also more than welcome to use A Star Experience items too. Any of your own items that have been donated by a generous supporter can be included within the auction. Your items will be placed at the forefront of the auction lot list for prime viewing. All the funds raised on any auction items that have been donated to you or you have sourced will go to you. A Star Experience does not take any margin or commission on any of these items. 

What is the cost to run a silent auction?

We are fully aware that with any event (especially charity events), it’s really important to keep costs down and save where you can. This is why we try our best to keep any costs at a minimum for you. 

Any costs are done on a ‘sliding scale’ depending on how many A Star Experiences items you want to include in the auction. If you were to include a number of A Star items in your auction, then we will try our very best to provide our auction service free for you. To hear more about these options, please reach out to one of the team today. The number of A Star items needed to include within your auction to get our service for free might be less than you think!

What is included in the silent auction brochure service?

We will always try and tailor the perfect solution for you, but the auction brochure service normally is provided for free, with the inclusion of some luxury A Star Experience items within the auction lot. 

The brochures will always be branded to your event/charity’s guidelines. Our design team will produce a brochure that you will sign off and, once happy, we will print the brochure for you as well. 

We will also supply staff to be in attendance on the day to engage with your guests, answer any questions and promote the auction. Post-event, we will take care of all the payment collection for you, and our aim will be to get you paid as quickly as possible after the event. For much more detail on what is included within this service, please do reach out to one of the team today. 

What is included in the silent auction tablet service?

We will always try and tailor the perfect solution for you. With the tablet service, you will have a choice of the market-leading tech platforms within the industry. You will receive a dedicated Event Liaison Manager, who will be on hand to build your auction for you and answer any questions you may have.
