Online Bidding with Greater Giving
What You Can Expect
Our virtual auction utilizes Online Bidding, allowing for a paperless bidding system. You may bid on silent auction items using your smartphone or tablet. You can easily track "packages" on which you are bidding by “following” their activity without having to continuously return to a table or bid sheet.
