2021 Virtual Silent Auction
It's SO exciting! We are kicking off our first Virtual Silent Auction and Drawing (because we can't use the word that rhymes with Baffle) on April 18 at 8am! You will have the opportunity to bid on awesome items, baskets and experiences and purchase your virtual "drawing" tickets for over 20 classroom baskets. Due to our current Covid restrictions, everything will be done online, but CCE students will have the opportunity to see the baskets and items at school.

How will I know if I'm outbid?
Once you register and place your bid, you will automatically receive updates if you are outbid on an item. You can always check the site during the week to see what the highest bid is.
How will I know if I've won?
Whether you bid on an auction item or enter a "drawing", you will receive an electronic notice to the email on your registration if you are the winner. All "drawings" are done electronically and randomly.
How do I pay for an item I won?
Congratulations! If you win an item, you will receive an electronic invoice. Once you pay your invoice online, you can pick your item up at CCE or the PTO will be in contact about scheduling your experience win.
Where and when do I pick up items?
Paid for items can be picked up at CCE on the following dates and times:
Saturday, April 24 from 9am - 10am (outside in front of the entrance)
Monday, April 26 from 7:30am - 8:30am (overflow parking field)
Wednesday, April 28 from 2:00pm - 3:00pm
If other times are needed for pickup, they must be requested via email to cunninghamcreekpto@gmail.com
Where does my money go?
All funds collected will go directly back to CCE! Classrooms will receive 50% of the total collected for their baskets to use for office supplies, end-of-year parties, etc. The PTO is not charged for using Gala Bid.
I'm being asked for an optional fee when paying for my item. What is this?
The PTO is not using any funds collected to pay for the virtual auction site. In order for Gala Bid to offer schools and non-profits around the world, they ask participants for an OPTIONAL fee when making payments. The small fee (about 4%) is not required.
Who should I contact if I have an issue?

Why do you keep using "Drawing"?
Well, per the state and school district, we are NOT allowed to use the "word that rhymes with baffle" even though you might see it on Gala Bid's auction site. So, we use "drawing" instead. But the concept is the same as the "word that rhymes with baffle".
