The Deadline for Auction Donations is this Sunday!

An Evening in Paris, the 2024 Christ Church Auction, begins on October 26 - and yes, my friends, that is less than one month from now!
Check out the following dates and activities:
● The ONLINE Auction will begin on October 26 and run through November 1.
● The SILENT AND LIVE Auction, as well as the ever-popular 50/50 raffle, will take place on Saturday evening, November 2.
But wait!
To hold an auction, we need “stuff “ - food items like home-made soups and baklava; services like car washes and yard work; entertainment - think Toby’s Dinner Theater or Nationals’ Baseball games; and all those wonderful baskets filled chock-full of goodies for kids and adults. The potential is unending!
That means that right now, the most important date to remember is this upcoming Sunday, October 6, which is the last day to let the auction committee know what you plan to donate.
There are two ways you can enter your donations:
You can enter them directly into the Auction website using www.christchurchcolumbia.org/auction. Then, click on either the round "Donate" button on the page or the Donation link in the text, and fill out the short form. Don’t forget to attach photos of your item. (If you are a new donor, please click that box and fill out the information form as well). You can also send info about your donation to the Auction Committee in an email to auction@christchurchcolumbia.org.
When you donate, please include:
your name,
the name of the item you are donating,
a brief description of it,
the fair market value,
if there is a minimum price for this item, and
pictures, if you are taking your own.
If you have never donated to the auction, please include your email address, your mailing address, and your phone number. Any questions? Drop us an email!
And be sure to save these important dates:
• Sunday, October 6: Final day to enter donations on the Auction website (no deliveries yet!)
