About our Auction
The EAL Annual Online Auction is our largest community fundraiser, and generates more than $12,000 each year to support program services. The Auction is open to the public through the online platform Bidding for Good for ten days in late February – early March each year. Donations are accepted all year to support the event.
We welcome community donations to support our Annual Online Auction throughout the year.
Items that attract high-spirited bidding are needed most and include:
- One of a kind items such as artisan crafts, paintings, and tapestries
- Unique experiences such as excursions, adventures, wine tastings and museum tours
- Golf outings, especially at exclusive local clubs
- Hotel stays and spa treatments
- Tickets to sporting events, concerts and local theater productions
- Gift certificates for local restaurants, shops and services
And more!

Your gift will be acknowledged with a receipt for tax purposes, based on the assessed value.
