Our live and silent auction is our most productive large, public fund-raiser of the year. We produce it with our partners, the food, drink, and service businesses of greater Gig Harbor.
Guests are not handed a plate with rubber chicken or hockey puck fish. Each diner walks among the many kiosks set up by our sponsors and selects the best of the best of Gig Harbor.
While picking and choosing dinner delights, guests browse the auction offerings, bidding on the silent items and surveying the live auction items for bidding opportunities during the most fun activity, the live auction.
