OP: A formal “auction banquet” is actually 2 large events in one. You have the dinner, and you have the auction/fundraiser.

You need a whole COMMITTEE of people, most of whom should have some experience with these types of events…to find goods/services to auction, to deal with the caterer, rsvps, invitations, publicity, money, decorations… And afterwards you won’t be able to say YOU did it.

Your heart is in the right place, but I would find something much smaller and more compact. Even a series of bake sales, for instance, would be more practical and have a better chance of success.
