2024 Silent Auction
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 has all types of items that guests can place a bid on. The items can cover a range of things including jewelry, art, destination packages, gift baskets, gift certificates, and more. You can donate items or services from your business, hobby, or something you care about. Our Silent Auction is a great way to support adults with disabilities and invest in your community.
