What is included in the auction?
The auction night includes; a sit down
dinner, three silent auction rooms (blue, white and almost live),
raffles “best of live” and “$1000 cash box”, a dessert auction, live
auction and gift certificate “bidding frenzy.
Gift Certificates to local restaurants and retailers are purchased at face value by the first bid number the auctioneer sees raised and calls out.
What is the Dessert Auction?
Each table will have a dessert bid card on it when you sit down for dinner. Each person/couple sitting at the table can put a dollar amount on the card with their bid number to purchase a dessert. When all bids are complete the card will be picked up by a player and totaled. Following the dinner the auctioneer will call out the table who bid the highest dollar amount to go pick out a dessert. Each table will be called in descending dollar order until all 20 tables have a dessert. Once again the highest bidders could get the best dessert!
What are the goals for the auction?
- This is an opportunity to raise money. The funds raised are considerable and are of great benefit to Cougar Football and other programs at BHS. The money raised helps pay for things like; coaching stipends, team equipment, uniforms, team camps, team meals, game programs, merchandise, community banners, and much, much, more.
- The evening allows the parents, alumni, faculty and members of the community the opportunity to come together to celebrate the success of the program and cultivate relationships amongst each other.
Who coordinates and organizes the auction?
The auction is an event organized by the parent community of Cougar Football Club in coordination with school administration and the other sports or activities involved. While the auction chair and committee do much of the basic planning and foundational work, it is the work of numerous parents that is essential in making this massive undertaking a success.
