Please join us for Foothills’ 2024 Fundraising Auction “The Courageous Love Boat”
Live Auction: Saturday, October 19th, from 5:30 to 8:30 PM
Online Auction: Saturday, October 15th – 22nd
There are several ways to get involved! You can register here to join us in person. You can also donate to our auction by donating a creative event or item. See below for details and ideas.
Join us live! If you join us for the Live Auction, nautical or cruise wear is encouraged, but not required. Tickets are $40 each. Join us for a first rate dinner in our new dining room aboard the Courageous Love Boat. Beer, wine, mocktails and sparkling water will be available. There will be live lounge music throughout the evening performed by the one and only Julie Koenig on mic and Piano. Some of the Online Auction items will be displayed for you to check out, and you can even bid on your phone at the event! Then we’ll enjoy the Live Auction with auctioneer John Clatworthy.
We need you to register by October 8th so we can provide the caterer with the final number.
Donate to our auction events! Just like in years past we will be auctioning community-building experiences. No event is too big or too small and the more creative the better! Auction events throughout the year are a great way to meet people. Paper donation forms available upon request on Sundays. Deadline to submit donation forms is October 8th.
