It seems that I can't get a straight answer from any local experts,

The local school PTO will be hosting a silent auction with donated
items. We have been asked to donate something.
My wife and I where talking about donating an airiel tour of the
school district. Would it violate any FAR's that anyone can think of
if the school takes money for the flight? I would not be taking money
in anyone's name and all related cost would be paid for by me. As far
as I'm concerned it would be like donating a toaster that I went to
the store and bought. What would be the difference if I went out and
paid for a flight to donate, or just donated my time and the planes
time and expense?
