Our silent auction will be entirely online this year to allow for everyone to get the opportunity to bid on these amazing items. The auction will be open for registration and viewing on Sunday, September 20 at 8:00am and close on Friday, September 25 at 8:00pm. You need to register to receive your bidder number and, in addition to bidding on silent auction, your bidder number will be used the night of the Hope Gala to purchase raffle tickets and bid on Live Auction items. You have the opportunity to set your maximum bid amount and you will receive notification when someone places a bid that exceeds yours. You will receive text messages or email notifications of current bidding amounts and checkout instructions once you've won an item at the end of the auction. You do not need to be present to win an item, a pickup day will be scheduled for Sunday, September 27 1:00-3:00pm at the Super Sam office in Fulton.
