I'm not very tech-savvy, will I have a hard time participating?

The bidding platform is very user-friendly.  Ask one of our Goat staff or event volunteers for assistance the night of the Ball.

 

If I win, how will I get my items?

If you are attending in person and win an item in the auction, you will be alerted to have your payment processed. Once processed you will receive a receipt for your purchase, show your receipt to the volunteers at checkout to receive your prize.

 

If you do not attend the Ball in-person, someone from our team will contact you the week following the Ball to determine how you will receive your item(s).  Some items will qualify to be sent via email, while other items will require you to schedule a pickup time. If you prefer for an item to be mailed to you, we can arrange for shipping at your expense.  Alcohol cannot be shipped - any items containing alcohol must be picked up in-person at Hephzibah Children's Association.  If you have any questions, please contact Whitney Gravely at [email protected]   

 

Can anyone participate in the Online Silent Auction?
