The local singles have volunteered to be auctioned off in a charity singles auction on December 19, 2013 at the Doubletree Hilton in Salt Lake City. The auction proceeds from the first annual 'Tis the Season Bachelor and Bachelorette Auction' will be split evenly and donated to the Huntsman Cancer Foundation, Firemen and Friends of Kids and to victims of the recent typhoon in the Philippines.

Photos of the bachelors and bachelorettes, as well as other event details can be found on the event Facebook page.

The event is being hosted by Media Moguls PR, a media relations and public relations firm out of Bountiful. The event will be emceed by Media Moguls PR founder, Blair Nastasi and actor, Daryn Tufts of the Questar Gas commercials.

Blair Nastasi, CEO of Media Moguls PR talked about the inspiration behind the event when she said, "As a team of business owners, we want to show others what the holiday season is really all about - giving. Because we all have different interests and causes that are close to our hearts, we decided to do a collaborative fundraiser and each choose a different charity or non-profit to receive donations."

The event will also feature local vendors, to allow for last minute holiday shopping before and after the auction. Cara Adria, an independent distributor of It Works, Brittany Bond, owner of Electronic Couture, May Bradley of Salon Dragonfly, Joslyn Saunders of Passion Parties and Sheri Osborne from Damsel in Distress are among the vendors that will be at the auction.

Donations are also being accepted for a silent auction and 100% of the proceeds from the silent auction will be donated to the selected non profits. Donation inquiries can be directed to Blair at [email protected] or (801)664-6061.

Jerry Lund, eligible bachelor and owner of Fire and Fuel Apparel, a company that specializes in off-duty firefighter apparel, talked about his involvement in the event when he said, "Helping others is something that's a big part of my company culture. When I heard about the idea for this auction, I knew I wanted to do it. Even if it meant sucking up my nerves and auctioning myself off. It's for a good cause and I'm really excited about it."

Light appetizers will be served at the auction and a cash bar will be available from 7 PM to 10 PM. Space is limited and tickets should be purchased before the event, as the event is anticipated to sell out. CLICK HERE TO PURCHASE TICKETS.

"Just because we're business owners doesn't mean we have to be boring. Raising money for charity and helping others doesn't have to stiff or traditional. I'm a firm believer that if you're not having fun in your business or in your life in general, then you're doing something wrong. When I approached Jerry from Fire and Fuel Apparel and Heather from Details By Others with the idea for a singles auction, they loved it. We wanted to break the mold of traditional fundraising events and do something that was both fun and helpful," said Nastasi.

Press inquiries and interview requests can be directed to [email protected] or by calling Blair at (801)664-6061.

Heather Rice, owner of Details by Others and a bachelorette at the auction said, "This event is getting a lot of buzz and I'm really excited to participate. What a fun way to kick off the holiday season, by supporting a few great causes, meeting new people and having some fun."
