We cannot do this without you! We will need volunteers to help leading up to the auction as well as help on the day of the event. All help will count towards service hours.

Day of the auction can include any of the following duties:

• Loading/Unloading - Lifting and loading all baskets, class projects and other auction items from the school storage room into cars and unloading all items at the venue.
• Set-Up -Perform tasks such as setting up table decorations, baskets, raffle tables, direct impact board, etc.

Working the night of the auction can include any of the following duties:

• Banking - Welcome guests as they arrive and check them in. Volunteers will be trained but familiarity with computers is important. These volunteers work the entire event as they help with behind the scenes entry & organization and check guests out at the end of the night.
• Claims  – During the silent auction, answer bidder questions and remove items purchased at the Guaranteed Purchase Price. After a silent auction section closes, these volunteers pull the bidder sheets and then sort auction items by winning bidder for pickup at the end of the evening.
• Merchanise Pick-Up – After guests check-out, provide all items to winning bidders. Work with bidder to address any problems/missing merchandise as needed. Ensure bidder has assistance with carrying items to car, if needed.
• Floaters - Display jewelry, specialty items & help sell raffle tickets while circulating throughout the crowd. You still get to socialize with guests while also encouraging bidding!
• Gaming - Help sell raffle tickets during the event, explain rules of games to guests, and encourage them to participate.
• Markers for Live Auction- Volunteers track bidder/winner information for each live auction item.
• Runners - Volunteers run bidder/winner information for live auction items back and forth to Banking.
• Clean-Up – Clean-up occurs at the end of the event & the day after and involves removing decorations, general clean-up and loading up whatever needs to return to the school.

Dinner will be provided for auction night of volunteers. Volunteers will also be able to bid on silent and live auction items. Tickets will be compensated for those working DURING the event in the evening.

Sign-up for any of the above on the volunteer sign-up page or e-mail your area of interest and any questions to auction@sjbcatholicschool.org  and we will get back to you with more details!

Volunteer needs will also continue to be communicated regularly through the school Facebook page, newsletter & PFA meetings.

Thank you for helping us make this year’s auction the best one yet!
