2025 Silent Auction Items

New This Year: Proxy Bidding for the Silent Auction!

For the first time ever, you can bid in the Silent Auction even if you can’t be at the party in person.

Here’s how it works:

  1. Choose your favorite items!
  2. Email your maximum bid to [email protected] to take part in this great cause. You will receive an acknowledgment of your bid.
  3. Your proxy will begin at the minimum bid and increase your bid in set increments as needed.
  4. Bidding closes at 3:30 PM. You may win your favorite item for far less than its retail value!
  5. Winners will be notified, and items will be delivered to you after the event.

Of course, we’d prefer to see you in person—but know that you can still support a great cause even if you can’t join us.

Don’t miss your chance—join the fun and make a difference from wherever you are!
