We will be putting our best paws forward for this year’s gala auction, and we really want YOU to come join in the fun. The event will be held in Griffith Hall, a part of the Ludwig’s Corner Fire Company with a start time of 2 PM. As in the past, we will have 15 silent auction tables followed by a live auction, run by Bud and Annette Smith of Smith Auction Company, with approximately 45 items.
When and where is the event? The date is Sunday, October 27th from 2-4:30 p.m. Registration begins at 1:45. Silent auction tables will begin closing around 3:15. The event will be held in Griffith Hall, a part of Ludwig’s Corner Fire Company. The address is 1325 North Pottstown Pike, Glenmoore, PA.
Where do I get tickets? The price of admission is $20 per person in advance (by October 20th), and $25 at the door, or Oct 20th-27th. Click here to buy tickets. Your name will be on a list of attendees, so you will only need to check in at the door. We strongly encourage ticket purchase in advance and appreciate receiving your ticket return coupons or online payment by October 13th. Tickets at the door will be available on a first come, first serve basis.
Dress/Health? Since the auction is four days before Halloween, please feel free to wear a comfortable costume, don cat ears, or wear whatever attire feels seasonal for you!! Masks will be optional, but please do not attend if you feel even remotely ill.
How can I help make this event a success? If you would like to contribute a new item for the auction, please contact Henry (contact info is below). Also, we could use help advertising the event. We can send you a flyer to print out via email (contact Linda Petro at cscdpeach2@aol.com), or you can download it from our website here: CAN 2024 Auction Flyer. We welcome event guarantors whose contributions will help cover expenses as well as increase our final profit margin substantially. If you would like to bring a food item, please contact Ann Kunsch (ann_fran@outlook.com). We may have room for one or two people to take an auction table. If you are considering this, please contact Henry (see contact information below).
What types of items are acceptable for the auction? Unique items, restaurant gift certificates, practical items, jewelry, items of value, and bottles of wine tend to go well at the auction. Since we have limited table space, we may not be able to accommodate very many larger items with a value of less than $60.00. It is best to donate items that are completely ready to go to auction.
What is the deadline to donate items? The deadline is Sunday, October 13th. After that date, we may still be able to take high quality items that will bring a good price at the auction. Please do not bring items to the auction as last-minute additions. The earlier we receive items, the easier it is for us to plan!
I’ve never been to one of your auctions. Our auctions are highly organized to maximize fun. You will find items for any budget and all profits go directly to our cat rescue efforts. Many people come every year and just rave about the event. Don’t hesitate to come! You won’t be disappointed!
What payment is accepted at the event? Cash and checks for purchases under $100.00. Credit cards can be used for purchases over that amount.
