This event has become one of the most important fundraisers for our congregation over the years. We need your generous donations and bidding to make this successful!  

Sign Up to Show Your Stuff:

We need your talent for our live Zoom 6-8pm social time! Sing a song, play some music, do a skit, display a wacky costume, or share something you have learned or have done during the pandemic. You could also show and tell your auction item, or an item or service you won from a previous auction that you especially like.  If you want to share during the Zoom meeting, or have any ideas or suggestions please contact Tom McClintock at tom.mcclintock@wisc.edu.   

Register Now to Begin Bidding:

You will need to register in order to bid on items using the Online Registration here. Registration is free but we encourage you to make a cash donation or buy some raffle tickets to help us raise money. You can register a credit card then or before you check out your won items. During the bidding you will receive emails confirming your bid and when you are outbid. You will also see messages while you are in the website. You can use the Show me option at the top of the catalog to see Items that you have Starred, Bid on, Winning, Outbid on etc.   

View The Catalog and Start Bidding:

This year’s auction catalog is now available here: 2020 CatalogBidding opened online on Nov. 8th at 6pm and will close at 8pm on Nov. 14th. 

Take A Chance on A Raffle Ticket:

We have added a 50/50 Raffle! Tickets can be purchased during registration or from the Raffle Tickets tab on the Auction website. Buying raffle tickets raises money for our congregation and gives you the chance of winning 50% of the ticket sale proceeds.  Each ticket you buy online will be represented by a real ticket we will put into a jar. On Nov 14th, around 7:30pm we will randomly draw a winning ticket from the jar. You don’t have to be present in the Auction Zoom Meeting to win.

No Registration Fee But Donations Welcome:

Cash contributions can also be made on the auction website. Please consider this as there are less donations and we don’t have a registration fee this year. (Cash Donations) 

Stay tuned and thank you.
