Announcing the 2009 Carnival Cruise Auction

Family Assistance Foundation, in conjunction with Carnival Cruise Lines, is pleased to offer you the opportunity to ‘Give Like a King’ and ‘Sail Like a Queen’. The owners suite cabin will be awarded to the highest bidder this September at our Aviation Conference in Calgary, Canada. This auction is for two people sailing out of Tampa, Florida for a 5 day cruise, staying in a luxurious three-room suite. Additional cruisers in the suite are welcome for a nominal fee. We all know how good it feels to give without expecting anything in return, but you have to admit, sometimes it feels really good to get something back. Not only will you be able to write off your vacation with Uncle Sam, you’ll also be experiencing your chance of a lifetime to sail in style. Proceeds go to support the ongoing education and research efforts of the Foundation.
