Online Bidding with Greater Giving
What You Can Expect
This year’s silent auction will use Greater Giving Online Bidding – allowing
for a paperless bidding system. You will bid using your smartphone* 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.
*There will be "bid assistant" volunteers in each silent auction section, to assist those without smartphones with placing their bids.
