The BRIDGES AUCTION IS GOING VIRTUAL!
These are extraordinary times, but at Bridges we are determined to adapt and move forward. Please join us for our first-ever VIRTUAL Bridges Auction!
Just because this wasn’t Plan A doesn’t mean we can’t have some fun! Join us on Saturday, April 18, at 6PM for a livestream of our auction program, complete with bidding opportunities and powerful stories. The auction is our biggest fundraiser of the year and our students still need your support as we move through these challenging times.
Choose Your Adventure Raffle tickets are also still available! This is your chance to win your choice from 4 great trips. Each ticket is $100 and only 100 are available. Click HERE to purchase.
Let’s come together to raise the critical funds required to provide a safe space for them to learn and grow—whether that’s in the classroom or in the digital classroom.
We are looking forward to "seeing" you on April 18th!
If you have any questions, please contact Beven Byrnes at BByrnes@BridgesMS.org or (503) 506-0797.
How do I participate in the virtual event?
Click on the Livestream button above when the event goes live on Saturday, April 18, 2020 at 6PM (PDT). We recommend you tune in with 2 devices (computer/tablet/cell phone) or open 2 tabs on your computer. This will allow you to watch the livestream program and bid in the mobile bidding platform during the event.
What will the program be like during the event?
This program will be hosted by our benefit auctioneer Kelly Russell, and it will be a celebration of our community and an opportunity to support the future of Bridges Middle School. We will hear from Executive Director and Principal Beven Byrnes and share powerful videos that show our impact. We’ll also have some great silent and live auction packages for you to bid on and a special appeal you can donate to—all from the comfort of your couch!
The auctions will open on Wednesday, April 15, so bidders will have the opportunity to bid on their favorite packages before the livestream event. We’ll also draw the winning Choose Your Own Adventure Raffle ticket during the livestream program. We will close the live auction during the livestream, and the silent auction will remain open until Tuesday, April 21.
