Online Bidding with Greater Giving


What You Can Expect

This year’s auction will use Greater Giving Online Bidding – allowing for a paperless bidding system. You will bid using your smartphone or tablet on silent auction items. Also, you can easily track Packages by “following” their activity without having to continuously return to a table or bid sheet.

We would like to pay special tribute to Jim Little for his dedication as a board member and also the President of the Humane Society's board for years. His love for animals and devotion to our mission was endless. We are what we are today because of that effort. He will forever be remembered and be greatly missed by all who knew him.
