	Katy Schumann - Bachelorette #1 If you are the lucky gent to score a date with the Schumanator, you get to see the SUPER secret agent side of Miss Schumann as she kicks butt and takes names with you during a few rounds of paintball! And it gets better! (Seriously, how can it NOT get better with this girl in action?!) After working up a voracious appetite slaughtering others with all of the colors of the rainbow, get ready for dining along the waterfront with a yummilicious meal fit for 007…or Austin Powers, depending on what does it for you.
	Sarah Allen - Bachelorette #2 You will be whisked away and dropped off to the wine country in Woodinville...it’s not Napa Valley...but close. We will have a highly qualified and knowledgeable naturalist/wine guide, travel in adventure outfitted luxury Mercedes or Jeep, have local meats and cheeses, selected Washington wines and refreshments, all tasting fees and comprehensive naturalist and winemaker commentary. All you have to do is show up and have fun! I grew up in Redmond, the neighboring town...but not to worry there will be no-meet-the-parents style date!
	Bianca Abate - Bachelorette #3 I recently had a double eye injury from which I’m finally recovering...and I am STOKED to go on a new adventure. Be my fellow Ghostbuster and join me on a Seattle Ghost Hunt. We’ll go to Pike Place Market and stake out Seattle’s most haunted spots. Ghost Hunting works up quite the appetite, so we’ll end our date over dinner, drinks and palm reading. Hope you’re ready for chills, thrills and hopefully no nightmares!
	Caroline Li - Bachelorette #4 You can be the next Ansel Adams with me – just bring your appetite and your camera! For our date, we’ll be having dinner at the Metropolitan Grill in downtown Seattle, followed by an evening of memories as we join the Shutter Tours Photography walk. Who doesn’t love steak and the pictures to prove what a fun time you had? It will be a night to remember!
	Emily Woodward - Bachelorette #5 Join me for hours of fun in the sun as we balance our way through Lake Washington atop paddle boards from the famous and always fun, Agua Verde. Think you can paddle for several hours without getting wet? We'll see... Are you a brunch lover? We can start the day at Portage Bay loading up on their yummy toppings bar. Are tacos and margaritas more your style? Not a problem. We can hit up Agua Verde cafe for lunch instead. I'm an athlete by nature so we can either have a lazy tour or a fierce competition. I'm thinking major penalty for anyone who falls in!
	Stephanie DiSantis - Bachelorette #6 This New England girl is going to take you on a good old fashioned New England date. Fall is one of the best seasons in NE so we're going to do our best to replicate that 3,000 miles away. We'll start out apple picking at High Meadow Orchards in Monroe, WA and once we've had our fill we'll sit down to a picnic lunch of typical foods New England; clam chowder, lobster rolls, baked beans, corn beef and cabbage, cranberries, maple sugar, and don't forget - Sam Adams and whoopie pies, oh my!
	Anna Meneses - Bachelorette #7 I’m usually marching to the match with the Seattle Sounders but this MLS chick is going NFL for a good cause! Join me on November 7th as we watch the Seahawks take on Eli Manning and kick some New York Giants butt! As if that weren't enough, the date includes a VIP prefunk package with complimentary breakfast and drinks with Seahawk personality "The SeaPimp". Still not enough? Blitz the Seahawk has personally promised to come visit us at our seats, take pictures, and hang out for a bit... hope the people around us don't get too jealous! Bid on me, win, and have a blast knowing it was all to help end poverty through the power of education!
	Marisa Jenkins - Bachelorette #8 Spend the day with me in the San Juan Islands! We’ll catch a seaplane from downtown Seattle’s Lake Union to Friday Harbor. We can have lunch and then hop onto a tour boat and go on a sightseeing adventure. We could see orcas, sea lions, gray whales, bald eagles and whomever else decides to make an appearance! We will finish off the day with a seaplane ride back to Seattle!
	Lisa Oh - Bachelorette #9 It’ll be all about the music for our date... yeah there’ll be dancin’ and singin’ and movin’ the groovin’... Explore the Experience Music Project (EMP) with me, it’ll be my first time and I’m so excited! Once we’re done with the sounds, off we go to moving to whatever beats we find... it’s dance lessons baby! This is also quite new to me, so I’m really looking forward to sharing this experience with you! All this activity is sure to work up an appetite, so lets do dinner.
	Chris Baretta - Bachelor #1 Come with me on a one-of-a-kind VIP Sounders FC Experience (Sounders FC vs Chivas USA October 15th @ 8:00 pm). This match will have lots of playoff implications at hand and will be the high drama SEASON FINALE. We will start the night with Drinks at FX McCRory’s before the match, followed by a VIP Tour during warm-ups on the Pitch. I will have a 2010 Seattle Sounders FC Scarf ready for you to cheer with as we head over.
	Luis Bitencourt-Emilio - Bachelor #2 The winning bidder and I will be going on a hot air balloon ride at sunset. Our ride will take us from just barely brushing the treetops, so close we can grab souvenir leaves, to upwards of 5,000 feet above the picturesque Sammamish Valley. As if the sunset itself weren’t enough of a backdrop, we’ll also be seeing Mount Rainier & Baker, the Cascade & Olympic mountains, Seattle skyline and more! Upon landing we’ll be attending a wine tasting celebration at a premier local winery. Oh... just one more thing. I will be matching the winning bid up to $1000, so get your donations ready for bachelor #2!
	Bryan Nairn - Bachelor #3 Bryan spent a few years in the Air Force, so his date includes a 60 minute scenic flight over the Seattle area. You will fly over Lake Washington, the University District, Redmond, Lake Sammamish, Snoqualmie Falls, the Cascade Foothills, the Carnation Valley, the Boeing factory in Everett, the Puget Sound and the Seattle waterfront. Bryan will even let you sit in the co-pilot’s seat! Afterwards, your taste buds will be pampered when you dine at the Canlis Restaurant, which offers impeccable service and quintessential regional cooking overlooking Lake Union.
	Ikrima Elhassan - Bachelor #4 Hello ladies. Look at your man, now back to me, now back at your man, now back to me. Sadly, he isn’t me. But if he started donating to Vittana, he could be like me. Look down, look up. Where are you? You’re at the BEAN 2010 Annual TGAL Date Auction with the man your man could be like. What’s in your hand? Back at me. I have it. It’s an oyster with two tickets to that thing you love: a makeover beauty photo shoot. Look again. The tickets now include a wardrobe stylist, makeup stylist, and catering at your own fashion shoot. Anything is possible when you win me and raise money for charity. I’m on a boat.
	Kushal Chakrabarti - Bachelor #5 Think action/adventure, the thrill of a lifetime as we jump off a plane... yes, you heard right, we're going skydiving! Once on the ground, it off to a champagne picnic/brunch via four-wheel-drive... and then, we'll see. Mystery is part of the adventure. Are you ready for this?!
	Darius Dashtaki - Bachelor #6 Get a taste of "the good life". We will start the our date with a tour of Theo's Chocolate factory, the only organic, fair trade, bean-to-bar chocolate factory in the United States. Deliciously good! Then off we go for some Pitch and Putt action in Green Lake, and finally... are you ready? Why not wind down with dinner and drinks at the Red Fin Japanese Restaurant & Sushi Bar in the Hotel Max. Only the very best for the very best... oh yeah, that would be you.
	Gavin Gee - Bachelor #7 The name is Gee, Gavin Gee, and there is no better way to soak up the flavor of a Seattle sunset than sailing along the calm perimeters of the Puget Sound for a few hours with a glass of champagne in hand! So come sail away with this English gentleman on your very own 35ft Champagne yacht. Food and drinks will be provided by yours truly... and it can be just the two of us, or feel free to invite up to four more of your friends and we'll make it a party! (Actual time and date of sail to be agreed upon by both parties.)
	Will Pang - Bachelor #8 Join me on a romantic sunset cruise getaway to Vancouver BC. We’ll enjoy all the activities the cruise ship has to offer, and get to know each other as the waves glide by. I’ll have all of the details covered, including your own private quarters to retire to. Your room can accommodate two people, so if you want to bring a lucky friend, I’m happy to entertain you both. This is an overnight trip. Days of the trip will be agreed upon by all parties.
