Dear Swan Ball Auction Guests:
We are pleased to present the 2009 Swan Ball Auction Catalogue featuring 85 exciting trips, priceless parties and tantalizing temptations, which will be available to the highest bidder at the upcoming Swan Ball Auction Party on Tuesday, May 26th to be held at Loews Vanderbilt Hotel. We thank our amazing team of committee members who have been working since the fall to bring you these treasures. Their hard work and dedication to Cheekwood and The Swan
Ball is much appreciated.
We would also like to thank American Airlines and Loews Vanderbilt Hotel for their continued support of the Auction and the many donors who have contributed so generously this year. We hope you will take a few moments to peruse the Acknowledgements pages to see the vast array of supporters who have given so charitably to our cause. We thank them for making this auction possible.
We would also like to point out a new section in the catalogue that showcases our exciting new partnership with Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc., one of the leading hotel and leisure companies in the world. With nine distinctive brands and more than 940 properties worldwide, Starwood has given Swan Ball Auction guests a taste of its diverse properties with an array of trips from the beaches of Punta Mita, Mexico to mountains of South America to the blue waters of the Caribbean. We are very proud to welcome Starwood into the Swan Ball Auction family this year.
Please sit back and enjoy a trip through the pages of this website. Whether you prefer a romantic getaway, an exotic journey, a big chill weekend with friends or some family fun, you will find it here! We have an array of temptations to walk, or even drive away with! We encourage you to look through these exclusive auction lots and choose what you would like to bid on. We also hope you will consider getting a group together to bid on the priceless parties and the trips that are designed for groups of two to 200 people. If you are unable to attend the Auction but would like to bid on an item, you may submit an absentee bid. Please see the auction rules in the catalogue for instructions for this process.
You can also click on the websites listed within the details section of each lot to directly link to donor websites. If you would like to be added to The Swan Ball email list, please send your name and email address to swanball@cheekwood.org. This will keep you in the loop leading up to Swan Ball 2009. We'd also like to thank SiteMason for hosting our website.
Thank you in advance for your support of The Swan Ball Auction. We look forward to seeing you at the party!
Sincerely,
Melanie Baker
