Sneak a Peak at our Auction Items!

We're stepping up our Annual Dinner game this year! We’re excited to introduce mobile bidding, bidding from afar, and bidding in advance through the BidPal platform.For our members and supporters who are unfamiliar, BidPal is a platform that will make our silent auction portion of the evening run a little bit smoother and help us check you in much faster. You’ll be bidding using your cell phones. For those who are a bit more technophobic (including our near and dear Executive Director Shiloh) don’t worry―we’ll have volunteers and staff on hand to guide you through the process. We promise it’ll be a breeze.What’s even more exciting is the auction items we’ve drummed up this year thanks to the generosity of our members and community partners.
