SILENT
Auction
Our silent auction kicks off the night. After registration, pass an hour with your friends bidding via your cell phone. Passed drinks, light hors d'oeuvres, and good conversation help to pass the time while waiting for the main event to kick off.
On display are all the Christmas Trees, specially decorated to reflect the auction items attached to each of them.
In addition, our big board table displays individual items available for bidding.
WINE

During the silent auction portion of the evening, check out our Wine Pull table.
Purchase a bottle of wine generously donated by Trees of Hope supporters during our Fall Wine Event.
Pull a cork out of a bowl, the number on the cork corresponds to a bottle of wine with a value of at least $50. Take a chance and possibly find your next favorite bottle.
