This year the auction will go to support the March of Dimes primary cause this year, preventing premature birth and saving the lives of prematurely born babies. Each year the March of Dimes takes on a new cause to champion. This year it hopes to extend the lives of those who were unfortunate to have been born prior to term and prevent such further tragedies from occurring again.
A brief description of what to expect from the auction:
In one ballroom, the finest chefs from greater Ann Arbor gather to prepare their signature dishes placed in beautiful displays that are appealing to both the eye and the appetite. Fine wines and drinks are available to enhance the experience of browsing among the chef’s offerings.
In another ballroom, an assortment of interesting and unique items is featured for the silent auction. Writing your auction number below the item is all you have to do to bid. The items range from remote control toys and jewelry to exquisite artwork and travel items. All the items are beautifully displayed for the guests to see and touch.
Finally in the largest ballroom guests gather for the live auction. Each of the chefs offer unique personalized dining experiences for groups of 2-12 for live bidding. There are also travel packages and special items that are available in the live auction. The room builds with excitement as the packages are described and the bidding begins. Midway the bidding pauses as a family touched by the March of Dimes describes their personal story. The mission moment reminds all the guests the real purpose of the evening. There is an opportunity for all to donate directly at that time.
