The excitement is building for our Silent Auction at the Legacy Gala on May 12 as over 60 donations will now be up for bid — including gift cards from restaurants and spas, tickets to amusement and water parks, and get-away trip packages. The auction will once again incorporate mobile bidding, allowing ACS families and friends to bid on items whether or not they are able to attend the Legacy Gala in person.

Want a sneak pick at some of the items up for bid? CLICK HERE to go to our online bidding site. More items will be added to the site every day. Themed classroom gift baskets, featuring donations by ACS parents, will also be part of the Silent Auction and the deadline to donate items for those baskets is Monday, May 1.

Online bidding in the Silent Auction will open five days before the Gala — on Monday, May 8 at 5 p.m. — and will close on Friday, May 12 at 7:00 p.m. All are invited to bid, whether at the event or from afar. All bidders need to register — creating a user name and password — before they can bid.  CLICK HERE to register to bid, or go to:  https://bit.ly/2023ACSauction

One of the unique items up for bid will be lunch in the U.S. Capitol in Washington, DC with Congressman Jeff Van Drew and a behind-the-scenes tour of the Capitol. ACS parents Jason and Bethany Kiefer, their daughters Isabelle and Hannah, and several other family members won the bid to this auction item last year and it was a very memorable experience. Bethany even got to sit in the Congressman’s chair at his desk.
