Silent Auction

During the book fair on Saturday, October 26th, we'll have tables set up displaying a number of exciting gift baskets - each one filled to the brim with an assortment of goodies! 

From 9:00am - 2:00pm you can stop by the tables and peruse the baskets. If you'd like to make a bid, there will be a sheet of paper in front of each basket to write down your information and bid amount. 

From 2:00 - 3:00pm winners will be announced!

All of the proceeds from the silent auction will go to support the Bread Break ministry in Sioux Falls.

Bread Break is a non-profit food-harvesting mission that collects food from local businesses and stores and then distributes it to ministry centers to help feed those in need.

We'd love to have your help in supporting this mission!

How do I bid on a basket?

There will be a sheet of paper in front of each basket to write down your information and bid amount.

Can I donate a basket?

Absolutely! Just grab a basket, find some goodies to put in it, and bring it to the Brandon Golf Course on Friday, Oct. 25th between 10:00 and 2:00pm. We'll gladly display your name on the basket you donated.

Your basket can be large, small, simple, elaborate, for men, women, children, and even pets!

If you're a business, feel free to create baskets with gift cards, coupons, and merch from your store!

When will the winners be announced?

At 2:00pm the auction will close and we'll announce the winner of each basket. Must be present to win - or able to pick up that afternoon/evening from the Brandon Golf Course. 

I'd like to donate a basket!

NOTE: Donated baskets must brought to the Brandon Golf Course on Friday, Oct. 25th
from 10:00am - 2:00 pm unless otherwise arranged with Paula (paula@sdliteratureandlattes.com).
