Bid by Thursday, May 1: All bids must be made by 7:00 PM EST on Thursday, May 1. When selecting your bid amount, you can choose either “Exact” or “Proxy”. If you select “Proxy”, you can choose your maximum bid and automatically bid up to that amount, depending on what others bid after you. You can also receive alerts when you’ve been outbid so you don’t miss your opportunity to win.
Join Us on May 1 to Celebrate Our Auction: The Seaton PTO is hosting a closing night happy hour at Dacha in Shaw, on May 1, from 5-8 PM. This event is open to the community, with a suggested $10 donation for extended happy hour. Stop by and make your last bids over a beer and giant pretzel and maybe you’ll walk away with that prize you’ve had your eye on! Note that you do not need to attend to participate in our auction, which is all online.
Thank You for Your Support! The Seaton PTO is grateful for your donations, which go so far in support of our little Stingers.
