Day of Auction Fun: Saturday, May 8, 2021
Live Auction: Saturday Evening, May 8, 2021
Sign Up for the event, order raffle ticket, food and drink, and we will email you when bidding opens for our Silent Auction items May 1st. You will also be emailed details about when to drop by campus during the day on May 8th to see class projects and pick up family fun kits and food and drink orders. Then, the evening fun starts at 6:30 PM with our Pre-Auction social time followed by our Live Auction from 7-8 PM.
Bidding on our silent and live auction items is open to everyone. Tickets and bid numbers are free, you simply need to Sign Up. We do hope you’ll buy some add on items to help the school. We are offering $20 Grab and Go Hors d’oeuvres and Dessert Boxes (serves 1) with standard, vegetarian and vegan options. We are also offering $15 Beer or Wine Spirit Packs – Either 4 craft beers or a Bottle of Red or White wine. And finally, we encourage you to buy a few $10 tickets to our 50/50 raffle. All add ons can be purchased here.
Once signed up, Auction Attendees will receive a confirmation email and an later email inviting them to sign up for a time to come to our on-campus Pickup Party at school. The details of visit times and scheduling options will come in a Mid-April Email.
Children are welcome / encouraged to attend the pickup party. Their class auction project will be on display and they will be invited to partake in a small adventure or two and pick up their fun kit. One per child. All young people at the PickUp Party (even those who are not students) are welcome to pick up a free kit as well.
Parents will be able to tour the class projects and pick up their Grab and Go orders for the evening festivities. Those who wish to stay in their cars, can have fun kits and grab and go orders brought to their car. Staff will be on hand to answer auction questions.
Our Silent Auction will take place online, as it did last year, with bidding available the entire week of May 1 – May 8. Once signed up, you can drop by the Catalog, HERE, to start bidding on Mat 1st. All who have signed up will be emailed invites when the Auction opens on May 1st. Simply click Bid Now to place your bid. Simple as that! The software will let you know if you’ve been outbid, so you can decide if you’d like to return and bid again.
The evening of May 8th, we will gather HERE for our Social Time followed by our Live Auction. Guests are welcome to come as early as 6:30 PM and as late as 7:00 PM. The live virtual action will start at 7:00 PM. This year, unlike last year, bidding will take place in real time and auction items will open and close, in order, throughout the night. This means class projects will come up for bid and will be sold, in real time, within 5-10 minutes. They will not be open for bidding for the full hour. It is important to come at 7PM to not miss your class project or other live item you may be interested in buying.
We hope our SGWS community and local community will consider sponsoring this year’s event. We serve over 150 students, and, through this event, businesses can stay connected with our extended families and with our local and national alumni and their families too!
We have lots of unique opportunities for our sponsors this year including promotion on our well-followed social media channels, print and online advertisement, branded items or ads in our Grab and Go bags and more. Click Here to see Sponsorship Opportunities and help support our school — a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization (tax ID# 34-1512962). Questions? Email Rocky Lewis at rlewis@sgws.org.
