The Silent Auction is Open for Bidding on your Smartphone!
If you are registered to attend the Gala and have already provided your cell phone number, you should have received a personalized text message on your smartphone, with a personalized link that you can use to browse the UCM Gala Auction Catalog and start bidding now! (Your link is unique to your seat reservation or your household.)
If you did not receive your personalized link, please email gala2017@ucmagency.org, so we can make sure you get one! Please provide the name , cell phone number, and email address that was used for event registration.
Click your personalized link -- which will take you to the home page of the UCM Auction site.
Here are some tips and tricks to make your mobile bidding fun and easy:
- Once you have viewed and selected a package to bid on, you have 3 options: bid the next increment, set a maximum bid, or simply “watch” the package.
- When you bid on an item, you will receive a text message alert if you are outbid at any point before the Auction closes at 8:00 p.m. on Saturday May 6 at the event.
- If you enter a maximum bid on a package, the system automatically places bids in your favor until your max bid is reached, or until the Auction closes. If someone else places a higher max bid on that package, the system prompts you to enter a higher bid.
- To keep an eye on items that you have bid on, select “Menu,” and then select “My List.”
- To purchase an item at the “Buy Now” price, select “Buy Now.”
- When the Silent Auction closes at 8:00 p.m. on Saturday, the guest with the highest bid wins!
- Check your winning packages under “My List” and come by the Event Check-out at the end of the evening to claim your winnings.
- Place your Max Bids before the auction on Saturday. Remember, your link is unique to your household. Please do not share it with anyone you don't want bidding under your number!
No smartphone? No worries. Bidding Buddies will be available during the event with tablets to assist you in placing your bid on auction night.
Have fun, and happy bidding!
