How the auction fundraiser works
The tradition of The Gathering Auction Fundraiser goes back further than we care to remember, and is unlike anything you will have experienced before.
The best way to sum it up in one word is OUTRAGEOUS.
It is an opportunity for outrageous giving to some highly worthy causes connected with 24-7 Prayer.
This year, our in-person fundraiser is back, so whether this is your first 24-7 Prayer Auction Fundraiser or if it’s the reason you’re here, read this guide:
Instructions for Online Fundraisers:
- Browse the causes and the fundraiser lots
Take a look through all of the items on offer in the fundraiser, and pay particular attention to the causes they are going to support.
- Donate towards your chosen causes
Once you’ve chosen your cause, make a donation towards the lot that represents it. Please note: we are not taking pledges this year and all donations will be taken immediately.
- Watch the Auction online
Tune in to the live stream of the in-person auction to be part of the fun! Watch in real time as the bidding gets competitive, the auction lots are sold off, and Brian and Keith get more and more ridiculous.
Instructions for In-Person Auction Fundraisers:
The in-person Generosity Auction will operate very much like previous years of in-person fundraisers. Here’s how it will go:
- Browse the causes and the auction lots
Take a look through all of the items on offer in the fundraiser, and pay particular attention to the causes they are going to support.
- Make your bids
As Brian and Keith announce each lot, you’ll have a chance to bid towards the items. Each donation will go towards the cause we are supporting, and the highest donation will win the item. Feel free to club together with friends or family to donate the biggest possible amount!
Frequently Asked Questions
How much can I bid?
We want everyone to be involved, but please only donate what you can afford to give. We’re encouraging outrageous generosity, but if you give £1 or £1000, you are still a star in our eyes.
Can I donate towards more than one item?
Of course! Donate towards as many items as many times as you like but, as hard as it may be, try not to get too carried away!
Where does my money go?
Each lot will support a different cause, and all causes are listed on the website. ALL the money received from the donations will go to that cause.
