We are now accepting Live Auction and Intermission Items, Events, and Services. We are accepting food donations for the Italian lunch as well.

For the Live Auction Items

For Live Auction items we need donations of the following:
-Hosted meals
-Sporting event tickets
-Music tickets (concert or symphony)
-Art gallery tickets
-Expensive digital devices
-Fine art or high-quality artisan items, and more!

A good indicator if an event or item is a good match for the Live Auction is if it can generate at least $75.

For the Intermission Items

For the Intermission Items, we need events with a set price that multiple people (at least 8-10+) can attend. The set price is usually $10 - $20.

Event Ideas:
-A Movie & Popcorn Night at GNUUC
-Hosting a Local Tour
-Hosting a Congregation Birthday Party
-Hosting a Park Picnic

For the artists out there, if you can create multiple items (at least 8-10+), all at a single set price of $10 - $20, they are a good fit as intermission items. They do not need to be unique but do need to be in the same genre. (Think Sandy’s birds from last year.)

Artisan Ideas:
-A set of paintings based on a theme
-A set of sculptures that fit in the same genre.
-All items are at a set price.

No Silent Auction

Remember - no silent auction items this year!

New and previous auction planners - join us!

We need many different strengths in our Auction team: volunteers to plan the silent and live auction, volunteers to organize food, volunteers to organize entertainment, volunteers to help with marketing, and volunteers in charge of decorations.

This year we are specifically looking for an Auction Volunteer Coordinator, who can oversee the volunteers and keep us all on schedule. Kristin has limited time this Spring and can specifically help with the Live auction only, however, is willing to train you!
