In these times of uncertainty it’s always good when we can donate to worthy causes.  FRCTV does that each spring by producing the annual Fall River Rotary Club Auction.

This past Saturday marked the 36th year the Rotary Club held its auction, and the seventh year that it was telecast live on FRCTV.   FRCTV staff works in the control room while the Rotarians man the cameras, answer the phones, and provide general oversight of all auction operations.  The process is well organized with proven results.

In terms of the success of this year’s auction, the down economy, combined with pre-summer-like weather, did impact the amount of money raised by the club this year.  The Rotary Club will still put that money to good use in aiding dozens of local area charities.

FRCTV can be an effective vehicle for non-profit organizations in the greater Fall River Area to promote their fundraising events.  We always endorse the use of our community bulletin board for that purpose.

For organizations who wish to duplicate the effort of the Rotary Club by holding their own televised auction or telethon, keep in mind that such an event is a monumental undertaking.  Other than providing the airtime and staff assistance (which is paid for by the Rotary Club), FRCTV does not get itself involved in the operations of the auction.  The Rotary Club has the advantage of having dozens of volunteers who work on the event year-round.  It’s that organization and cooperation that make the auction a success.

FRCTV is proud of its commitment to help non-profit organizations in promoting their events.  Get in touch with us to find out more.
