The auction is an annual fundraising initiative of UUFF to support its programs and ministry. Members and friends contribute items for a silent and a live auction. Everyone is invited to bring their friends and neighbors to the auction, where you never know what you’ll find.

The theme this year is “Cornucopia”.  Donate in abundance! Come with exuberance! Purchase the bounty!  There will be plenty! Enjoy the richness of an evening of FUNdraising & fellowship!

 

What might you contribute? What might you bid on? Here are a few ideas:

 

  • Dinner for 8, 10 or more – the theme’s the limit!
  • A party – Tailgating; Wine Tasting; Pool/Float; Super Bowl; Oscar Watch
  • Entertaining education – Readers’ Theatre; Poetry Reading; Book or Film Discussion; Crafts; Lessons (music, cooking, knitting, sewing, gardening, golf, etc.)
  • Girls’ or Dudes’ Night Out

  • Tickets to a theatre or music performance or Razorback sports
  • Family Friendly – Babysitting; Intergenerational; Game Night
