Chocolate Cake Dessert Auction

One of the sweetest parts of the auction is the dessert auction. Beautiful desserts are displayed during the Silent Auction portion of the evening and bidders fiercely compete for their favorite dessert. The winning bidder's dessert will be delivered to their table and will be shared with the table. 

  

We only need 7 more desserts! If you would like to help, please sign up on the Community Opportunities page to:

  • Donate a beautiful homemade dessert (tip: full-size cakes, unique specialty desserts typically fetch a higher bid than cupcakes or cookies)
  • Donate $40 and the dessert committee will purchase a dessert from a local bakery on your behalf.  

Email our Dessert Auction Coordinator Joanna Whitley with questions.

 

Thank you to Joanna and her team for coordinating the dessert auction this year.
