Colorado Wildfire Bake Sale

Welcome to the Colorado Wildfires Bake Sale!!  I appreciate all of you stopping by today.  All of the proceeds will go to Colorado Disaster Relief Fund c/0 Red Cross to help with fire victims.

Colorado has suffered from more than one very destructive fire so far this summer.  The High Park Fire that started on June 9th has destroyed 257 homes, and burned more than 87,000 acres.  It is now fully contained (that does not mean it has actually stopped burning).   On June 23rd, The Waldo Canyon Fire started.  It has destroyed approximately 350 homes, and burned over 18,000 acres.  The Waldo Canyon Fire is now 98 % contained.  Together these fires have cost over $50 million dollars to fight, and the work is not done.

The auction is now CLOSED!!!

This is how it will work:
– There is a minimum bid of $15 on each item to start, and all proceeding bids must be at least $5 higher.
– All bids must be emailed to dinnersdishesanddesserts@gmail.com with the item you are bidding on in the subject line (bids in the comment section will not be counted).
– The sale will go from July 8th at 8 am (EST) to July 9th at Noon (EST).
– Unless otherwise noted, baked goods will only be shipped within the U.S.
– Upon the closure of bidding time, I will notify the winning bidders in order to confirm instructions for payment, and also to retrieve their mailing address for their winnings.  Payment will be made via paypal.
– Winners will also be announced in a new post on Tuesday, July 10th.
– Winning goods will be sent within a week of the bake sale’s end, unless otherwise noted.
– There is a recap of the items up for sale at the end of the post.
– I will update the prices throughout the day.

Raffle Prizes:
– For every $5 that you spend (on a winning bid), you will earn 1 raffle ticket.
– I will use Random.org to pick 3 winners at the close of the auction
– The 1st number drawn will have their choice of prizes, the 2nd number can choose from the remaining prizes.  The 3rd will be notified of their prize.

  10. Yay Erin… it looks great!!! Thanks for your hard work (while you are in the middle of moving no less). I hope the sale is a huge success and we can make a lot of money for the cause. 🙂

  15. You’re so generous in your efforts to organize this bake sale for the people of Colorado in the midst of all you’re going through with moving, etc. Great turnout – everything looks so delicious – I’ve shared on Twitter and Pinterest 🙂 Happy 4th to you and your family!

  17. Erin, What a good-hearted person you are and all of those that donated items. I just saw this over at Anne’s and headed over. I can waited to start bidding on some of these. See you on Sunday! Have a wonderful 4th!

  19. Erin,
    I’m in Colorado (Greenwood Village; south of Denver metro) and it’s great to see bloggers from all over the country participate in this event…but I had not heard of it. Would you like some more help? I run a local food blogger meetup group and would be happy to get the word out if you would like me to try and get some more donations.

  24. My dad lives in southern Colorado around La Veta Pass. It is a beautiful spot but prone to wild fires. A couple of years ago, he moved everything out of his house and put it in storage in Pueblo because they were told to evacuate. Luckily, the house was not damaged at all. But, as fire season starts up again, I worry. (I wished him a Happy Fourth yesterday and he said they were getting regular afternoon rains! That is good news and those rains should keep the fires at bay.) Would love to participate! What a worthy cause.

  27. Also, it will be more than a dozen cookies. It will be most of the batch (or whatever I can hide from The Hubs)! I cannot wait for the bidding wars to begin!

    Reply

  29. I can’t wait to bid! Just need to decide on what 🙂 Can you please tell me how these things will ship? Some seem easily perishable. Awesome if you to put this together. I love Colorado.

    Reply

    • Everything is shipped by the individual blogger, so I can’t guarantee how they will ship. I know I make sure to do 2 day priority mail, freeze, and include an ice pack. But I don’t know if that is what everyone does. Thanks for your support!

      Reply

  32. Such a great thing that you’re doing, Erin! Thank you for doing this. Everything looks absolutely amazing, this is going to be a HUGE success! Best of luck, I’ll definitely be bidding to help out the cause and let others know about this as well.

  36. This is so wonderful! Living in Colorado Springs, we were fortunate to not have been personally effected by the Waldo Canyon Fire, but my community has been! I can’t tell how much this has touched my heart! Thank you does not even come close to how grateful I am that so many of my favorite bloggers have donated! May you all be Blessed in return!

  50. Erin, thank you and all those involved with this bake sale for all your efforts in putting this together for those affected by the recent series of wildfires here in Colorado. It really has been a rough couple of weeks for us here in Colorado Springs, some have lost so much, others are still reeling from the experience of facing a firestorm. We have been back home for a week now, yet there are still boxes to unpack and weather to watch in preparation for potential flash flooding. We are grateful for all that was spared and grieved for those that lost their homes–recovery will be a long process, we are thankful to live in such a strong community.
    Thank you, again, for your thoughtfulness and generosity.

  53. What an awesome project & what an amazing food community you all are! I’m sorry I just saw this now. Am I too late to bid? Oh my. Anyway, best of luck to all of you. I will try to help RT and spread the word! Cheers to all!

    Reply

  54. Thank you so much! This was so much fun! I’m so excited. Do you contact us (or the baker) and tell us who to send the money to? Also, when are you drawing for the raffle prizes?

    Thanks!!! What an amazing cause and you have done a fantastic job! Thank you for making a difference!

    Reply

  55. CLOSED!? It’s only 2pm on the left coast! So sorry I missed this terrific idea. Maybe you should organize another? Well done bloggers. 🙂

    Reply

  56. Just a suggestion, perhaps some of the items that seemed to have the most bidding going on should be put up again with a fixed price for as many orders as they can take, then you could raise even more money and also, people who lost out on something they might have really wanted would have a chance to purchase it. I for one, would have loved to win the Nutella brownies but got outbid at the last few minutes. If she was willing to make and sell 5 or 10 more batches at a fixed price, I just might buy one (as long as the price was reasonable). Just a thought for next time if there is a next time.

    Reply

    • That is a great idea!! Maybe I will see what I can put together tonight. I will email a couple people, see if they would be willing to make another batch or 2 to put up for sale.
      Thanks for the idea!

  14. […] Dinners, Dishes, and Desserts is hosting an online bake sale/silent auction, which I learned about through Savory Simple. There are over forty delicious treats from which to choose, with an easy bidding process. All proceeds go to the Colorado Disaster Relief Fund c/o Red Cross. I know it is a major undertaking to set something like this up, and it would be awesome if the baking and blogging community could raise a solid amount of money. Check out all the auction goodies here. […]
