2026 Silent Auction Information
One way to support the Annual Benefit is through the Silent Auction. 100% of the proceeds from the donated items help us successfully offer a quality program at an affordable cost to our special needs families in our community.
When most of us think of an auction, we think of a room full of people yelling out bids on auction items being presented. A silent auction is more orderly than that, and you can do it all from the comfort of your home! Our Silent Auction is conducted online through “Ready Set Auction” and located on our website for the duration of our auction.
Our Silent Auction is a great way for you & your friends to support adults with disabilities and invest in your community.
Our Silent Auction runs September 16-18 online. Account registration & instructions for bidding will open the first week of September.
What Kind of Items to Donate?
The items can cover a range of things including destination packages, gift baskets, gift certificates, art, professional services, experiences, and more. You can also donate items or services from your business, hobby or interests. Think “What might someone not normally splurge on but might purchase for a good cause?” We request that all items be new.
If you have any questions on specific items, please email us at [email protected] or call us at 919-779-5545 and we will be glad to talk with you further!
