Online Bidding with Greater Giving


What You Can Expect

This year’s auction will use Greater Giving Online Bidding – allowing for a paperless bidding system. You will bid using your smartphone or tablet 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. 

How to Mobile Bid with Greater Giving Online Bidding

  1. Register your smartphone and credit card information on our registration page in advance of the event or upon arrival.
  2. Once your smartphone is registered, you will receive an automated ‘Welcome’ text with your bidder URL. If you do not receive a text message, see a volunteer or staff member.
  3. After clicking the URL in the text, confirm your name when prompted and begin searching for silent auction packages by number, keyword, or category.
  4. Select the package you wish to bid on.
  5. You can bid the next increment, set a max bid, or simply “Watch” packages. If you enter the highest max bid on a package, the system will automatically place bids in your favor until your max bid is reached or until the silent auction closes. If your bid is lower than the highest max bid on that package, you will be prompted to enter a higher bid.
  6. To purchase a package at the Buy Now price, select the Buy Now button.
  7. To make a general donation, select the Donation button on your home screen and choose a pre-set amount or select the Custom Amount button to enter the amount you wish to donate and select OK.
  8. If you’re outbid at any point before the silent auction closes, you’ll be notified by text message.
  9. You can keep an eye on packages you’ve bid on or are watching by selecting the menu button and selecting the “My List” button located at the left
  10. As soon as the silent auction closes, the guest with the highest bid will win.
  11. Under “My List” you can check your winning packages. 

Help us to ensure our largest fundraising event of the year is a success!  

We ask our community to support the auction in one of the following ways:

  1. Make a family donation – We would like a donation from every family at St. Mary.  It’s easy to donate!  Donate physical items or experiences, then drop them in the school office.  Not sure of what to donate?  Give the gift of cash or check out our Amazon Wish List.  Wine and liquor donations are also needed for our new games ($15 minimum value).  Drop off a bottle to the front office!
  2. Sign Up to Volunteer – We have many positions open to help!  Sign up under “volunteer” in SchoolSpeak to set up the day before the event, assist the night of the event, or clean up the day after.  We also need families to host Sign-Up Parties, check out ideas on SchoolSpeak.  Remember that this is your last chance to get your required parent hours in at a major event before March 31st!
  3. Sponsor– There are many levels of sponsorships available this year, including Sponsor-A-Teacher! 
  4.  Attend – Enjoy dinner, drinks, auction, dancing and more!  Support St. Mary school and attend with friends!
