Wow! A big thank you to all - sponsors, donors, bidders, volunteers - who helped make the 2022 Spring Auction so much fun and such a success! Cheers to another year of friendly competitive bidding for such a broad range of goods and experiences!
The Auction is Great Works' biggest annual fundraiser and its success helps Great Works continue conserving land and making special places available to our communities.
Statistics:
-
Final bids totaled an amazing $21,561 - 78% of the value of all the items. For all the generous overbids, there were still bargains to be had.
- Achieved 84% of the overall goal, which included winning bids, sponsorships, and the Fund-A-Need.
- 275 registered bidders, 16 more than in 2021.
- 134 winning bidders, up from 131 in 2021. Over 4,700 bids placed throughout the auction.
-
The Fund-a-Need for restoration of the trail entrance to Bauneg Beg Mountain, has raised $3,491, impressive, but still over $6,500 from the goal. It's not too late to donate!
Thank you, thank you!
