Proxy Bidding Information:
Bidders not attending the auction(s) may submit a one-time proxy bid for the maximum you are willing to spend on any Live Auction items by phone or your email. A bid number must be purchased for $30. Bids will be made on your behalf and not exceed your stated maximum bid amount. Proxy bidding is anonymous.
If the bidding ends before the maximum is spent, the remaining monies will be returned to the bidder, or the bidder can opt to donate the remaining monies to the fundraiser.
