How it works
If you're attending the gala...
- You will receive a a text message linking you to our Online Bidding Site. **You must use this personalized link in the text message or the system will not recognize your bidding number.**
- Click the link and confirm your name.
- Browse packages by number, keyword, or category and select your action (Details/Bid/Watch).
- Bidding takes place in one of two ways:
(a) Manual bid. You will receive a text if you are outbid and submit a new bid if you wish.
(b) Or set a “max bid.” Set the highest amount you are willing to pay for an item, and the system will automatically bid up to that point whenever you are outbid. You will receive a text notifying you if your max has been outbid and have the opportunity to bid again.
- The “My Bids” button will allow you to track the bids you are winning.
- You will receive a text message after the silent auction closes if you won.
