How will I know if I'm outbid?
Once you place your bid, you will automatically receive updates if you are outbid on an item. You can always check the site during the weekend 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 email if you are the winner. All "drawings" are done electronically and randomly through GalaBid.
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, PTO will reach out to coordinate pickup of your item(s) at CCE.
Where and when do I pick up items?
Paid for items can be picked up at CCE on the following dates and times:
***To Be Announced***
Where does my money go?
All funds collected will go directly back to CCE! PTO efforts include maintaining clinic supplies, book vending machine inventory, staff appreciation efforts, in school field trips/activities, teacher grants, grade level funding, resource teacher support, and so much more!
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.
