Home Auction to Help Raise Funds for Animal Cancer Center

Tuesday, July 13, 2010

FORT COLLINS - If you are looking to support a good cause, but want to do a little something to spoil yourself (and adult family members or friends), the Animal Cancer Center is offering you the opportunity to do both at the same time.

In August, bidding will begin for a week at a luxury home in Zihuatanejo, Mexico. Escape your worldly cares with a one-week vacation and help support the important work at the Animal Cancer Center with your winning bid.

Generously donated by Jay Mesinger, a client of the Animal Cancer Center, you’ll enjoy your week in a villa complete with three bedrooms and three baths in a secluded, security-protected community. The villa is in a gated community and has a full-time staff. The home is not child-proofed and, because of safety concerns, no children are allowed.

The house features an unobstructed view of the ocean with private pool and staff, 10 minutes from the airport, and a five-minute walk to the beach. Other amenities include full communications, a purified water system, beautiful weather, and breathtaking views.

Home is offered for a 7 day stay at a minimum bid of $6,000, value is $1,200 per day rental. Availability is subject to prior bookings and not available December 21-January 10, March 2-10, April 8-18, November 22-28. Deadline for bids is September 15, 2010.
