At TLC for Children and Families‘ gala auction on October 30, one unusual silent auction item will be among the gift and wine packages normally seen at a charity auction. At this auction one lucky person potentially will get a great deal on a LAP-BAND Surgery from Weight Loss Surgical Center.
Anyone attending the event can bid on the surgery, although the actual recipient of the surgery must be able to meet surgical requirements.
“We’re allowing someone to buy the surgery for themselves or as a gift for a loved one who might not have the means to afford a LAP-BAND Surgery, themselves,” said Douglas Palzer, CEO and founder of Weight Loss Surgical Center. “This not a cosmetic surgery. The LAP-BAND is a powerful weight loss tool that can really improve a person’s life, and TLC does some great things to improve the lives of children in need.”
Weight Loss Surgical Center and TLC believe that this unusual auction item has the potential to amplify the life-improving effects of both organizations.
“Though the economy has slowed, the number of children in desperate need hasn’t, So Weight Loss Surgical Center’s generous gift could not have come at a better time,” said TLC Board Member Tim Danneberg. “It’s clear that WLSC is not just committed to improving their patients’ lives, but the lives of some of our area’s most vulnerable and exposed children at a time when it’s most needed.”
The LAP-BAND Surgery will be available for bidding at TLC’s United for Kids Gala on Friday, October 30, at the Overland Park Convention Center. If nobody offers the “Buy it now” price of $15,900 by the close of bidding, Weight Loss Surgical Center will continue to take telephone bids through November 25, 2009 at 5 p.m.
People wanting to make a bid should contact Adam Yarbrough at Weight Loss Surgical Center by calling 913-378-2109.
