WELCOME TO OUR SILENT AUCTION
Welcome family, friends, co-workers and the casual passers by. Thanks for stopping by our silent auction!
As participants in the Breast Cancer 3-Day, we (team Rooting For The Girls) have committed to raising $2,300 each just to be able to walk in the event. We are then committing ourselves to walking 60 miles over 3 days. We've been fortunate to have a number of businesses and individuals donate some wonderful items and have decided to host this online silent auction as part of our fund raising.
Below you will find directions on how to place a bid, as well as the items you can bid on. Just like a face-to-face silent auction, you will be able to see who has made a bid and how much the bid is. We encourage friendly competition. Besides, it's for a great cause!
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Carrie at carrielfraser@yahoo.com.
The auction will run from Wednesday, July 8 2009, through 6:00pm CST on Tuesday, July 14 2009.
Bidding ends on July 14, 2009 at 6:00pm CST.
