PODCAST: Insurance for gala auction items and more

Sherry Truhlar Leave a Comment

Last month, a 2010 Harley-Davidson Sportster motorcycle was stolen. The bike was painted pink and signed by a number of country music stars, such as Dolly Parton, Tim McGraw, and Taylor Swift.

Here’s the kicker: It had been donated as one of many gala auction items to be sold as a benefit to the Lexington, KY affiliate of the Susan G. Komen for the Cure. The bike had been stored inside a trailer secured by chains in the organization’s parking lot. When employees returned to the office after the weekend, they noticed it was gone.

The bike sounds irreplaceable. Let’s hope they had insurance.

In this podcast, hear about four types of insurance appropriate for galas.

Listen to the podcast below.
