FILL THE CATALOG WITH EXCITING DONATIONS!

Online Auction: The online auction runs Monday, January 13, 8 AM through Friday, January 24, 10 PM at fundraiser.bid/uubid. Bid high and bid often! Share the link with friends and watch for new items.

What can you donate that will thrill and amaze?

Will you offer rides to the airport, a couple of hours of weeding, a photo scrapbook or house portrait? Do you have collectibles, sports equipment, a piece of art or something else that needs a new home?

Contact your favorite merchants to ask for a donation – if you love a place, others will too. Email auction@uuse.org by January 1 to let us know what you’ll contribute.

Meals to tickle the tastebuds!

Meals are our most popular offerings. Italian dinners, picnic lunches, wine tasting, pool parties, DIY dessert classes, brunches by a lake … all sorts of culinary adventures are popular! What can you offer?

***Added in 2024!*** A buddy system for hosts!! Not everyone has the space, time AND the skills to host. If you would like to pair up with someone else, watch for the sign-up board in the lobby!

Create a Themed Basket

We ask committees, small groups etc to create themed baskets for a teacup raffle. We will display the baskets and sell tickets on Sunday, January 12 and 19. Drawing will be January 25. Claim your theme by January 1; capacity is only 10 baskets.

Lend a Hand… It’s Fun and Rewarding

The auction is one of our biggest fundraisers – and certainly the biggest party of the year. Can you spare an hour or two to help this event run smoothly? We need help with set up, clean up and during the event. Contact auction@uuse.org if you can take a shift. We look forward to seeing you!
