What is a Silent Auction?
A Silent Auction is when you have a chance of buying items by making
a bid, that is, you use your paddle number first initial and last
name to write down the amount of money that you are willing to pay
for the item. Another person may come by and want the same item so
he/she may offer more money, making a higher bid. At the end of the
auction, the person with the highest bid goes home with the item.
Silent Auction bidding can start when guests start to arrive. Guests
can bid on an item as many times as they choose. One hundred percent
of the proceeds from the Silent Auction will be donated to the
American Cancer Society for breast cancer research. You will need to
use your first initial and last name to bid on the items in the
silent auction. Most items will have increments of five dollars. |

Live Auction |

What is a Live Auction?
An auctioneer will conduct the live auction. Many of the items
donated by our sponsors and donors will be auctioned off in this
way. The process is not difficult. When you first arrive at the Tea
and register, you will receive a number paddle. This paddle will be
used during the live auction. When you wish to bid on an item, you
simply hold up your paddle. The auctioneer will recognize you and
ask if anyone wants to bid higher. The last person who bids on the
item will be responsible for making payment at the end of the
auction.
One hundred percent of the proceeds from the Live Auction will be
donated to the American Cancer Society for breast cancer research.
You will need to use your numbered paddle to bid on the wonderful
variety of items. Each numbered paddle will correspond to one guest.
This year we will have auction assistance that will assist guests
with their purchase. |
