Are you sure there's not a way to run it as an Ebay auction (hit them up for a fee-free listing), with the finish time during prime time of the Festival. Set up a video projector there and have a "mock" auctioneer calling out the updating and ever increasing price for the last 5 or 10 minutes. Everyone has wireless / portable internet connections and Blackberrys, etc, etc these days, so not only do the the invitation only tree-buyers have a chance to bid, but so does the rest of the world.
As always, only a suggestion with the best interests of your incredibly generous gesture at heart.

Or a Raffle? Just a thought
