 Please note the following rules and guidelines for this year's online auction: 

• The silent auction is open to all, near and far! You do not have to attend the event to bid on or win an item. However, please read auction item descriptions carefully as some items are local pick up only.
• Silent auction bidding is online only - there will be no paper bidding on site at the event. 
• Most silent auction items will be displayed at the event for attendees to view in person. You will be able to bid via your phone throughout the event. If you need help setting up your bid, please ask a nearby staff member for assistance. 
• Tip: If you select Auto Bid, the system will place minimum bids for you as needed up to a maximum amount that you designate.
• If there are multiple Auto Bids for the same winning amount, the item winner will be the bidder who committed to the Auto Bid winning amount first.
• The auction will close at a to-be-designated time on the day of the event. So don't hesitate to get your bids in!
• Once the auction closes, you will be prompted to pay for your winning items via the auction website on your phone. You can also check out as you leave the event at the end if you prefer to pay via check or cash.
• Attendees are expected to pick up their winning items at the event. Arrangements will be made to get items to any winners who are not in attendance or if a guest would prefer to pick up later.
• The event will also have a number of desirable live auction items. We encourage you to join us in person so you can be a part of the fun!
