Virtual Silent Auction Begins TOMORROW!

Join us here on our auction website for our weeklong virtual silent auction fundraiser!

Our virtual silent auction fundraiser begins tomorrow, October 21st at midnight! We have more than forty different gift baskets, experiences, tickets, vouchers, gift cards, and more for you to bid on. Before the auction begins, you can visit our auction site right here to take a look at what you want!

How to Participate:

1. Head to www.32auctions.com/stjohnsccdc. This is where our auction will take place.
2. Create an account with 32auctions.com. It’s easy! Simply create an account with your email address, and make sure to finish authorizing your account by confirming your email address.
3. Start browsing! We have over forty different baskets, packages, experiences, tickets, gift cards and more for you to bid on! Browse our selection and begin planning what you want to bid on.
4. Bid, bid, bid! The auction begins at midnight on October 21st, and you’ll have the opportunity to bid on items until 11:59pm on October 28th. Every item has a different value, different starting bid, and different minimum bid increments – think about what you want and how much you are willing to bid for it! If you’re outbid, you’ll receive an email notification from 32auctions.com. You can go back to the item and bid higher if you’d like to. 32auctions.com also offers a “watch” option; select “watch” on your favorite items to see how high the bids go! You MUST be 21 or older to bid on certain items. For 21+ items, we will ask for ID upon pickup. Unfortunately, we cannot ship 21+ items. 21+ items must be picked up in-person at one of our St. John’s CCDC locations.
5. Payment time. We are accepting payments via credit, debit, PayPal, Apple Pay and Stripe. Due to our auction being held online this year, we are unable to bill tuition accounts as a form of payment.

Donate to our Scholarship Fund!

Direct donations via our auction website will go towards the St. John’s CCDC Scholarship Fund!

These are economically tough times for many families in our communities, and even more so for single, working parents. Caring for your child or helping them with their schoolwork is difficult when working in the workplace or at home. But knowing your child is in a safe, fun and educational place where they are loved and cared for while you work is an invaluable feeling that we want to give to a family in need.

That’s why we are hoping to raise enough money to fund a year’s worth of tuition for a new family in our community. The recipient of this scholarship will be a single parent family, earning no more than $38,000 per year.

We’re collecting direct monetary donations on our auction website (click the green Donate button in the upper righthand corner of the homepage), as well as via Venmo. If you donate via Venmo (@stjohnsccdc), please label your donation as “Fall Fundraiser Donation” so we know what it’s for!

Tax-Deductible Options

All donations are tax-deductible. When you bid on and purchase an item at a higher cost than the fair market value of the item itself, that purchase is tax-deductible as well. Reach out to our social media and community manager, Katie, at katie@stjohnsccdc.org for a tax letter. Items bid on and purchased for lower than its fair market value are not eligible as tax-deductible.
