Watch Party at the MJCC

4:30 pm: Estimated guest arrival time for Watch Party
5:00 - 5:30 pm: Buffet Dinner Served
5:30 pm: Pre-Show Begins (Live on the "big screen")
6:00 pm Auction Begins (Live on the "big screen")

The Watch Party at the MJCC is an opportunity to come together in-person at the MJCC, similar to years past. This year, there will be no physical Live, or Silent Auction. At the Watch Party, attendees will be able to schmooze, enjoy dinner and drinks, and bid on Silent Auction items on your mobile device before watching the Live Auction on screen. Our Auctioneer, Ian Lindsay, and Co-Host, Josh Kashinsky, will not be present in the Ballroom, but will be joining us on the "big screen" starting at 6:00 pm.

Limited tickets are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Select the In-Person + Dinner registration option to join the waitlist. $75 registration cost for the Watch Party includes a $20 in-person accommodation fee. If we are unable to accommodate you in-person, we will convert your registration to a virtual one with dinner for pick-up. You can either donate, or receive a refund for the $20 in-person accommodation fee.

• All attendees of the Watch Party must be vaccinated against Covid-19 or provide negative PCR test within 72 hours of event.

Host Your Own Home Watch Party!

Another option for attending this year's hybrid Auction is registering for a virtual ticket, and hosting your own Watch Party in the comfort of your home. If you plan to host a Watch Party of your own with over 10 people, please let us know by contacting Rosanne so that we can set you up with some Watch Party goodies.

All Auction attendees, virtual or in person, whether purchasing dinner or selecting the free ticket, must register for the Auction in order to bid in the Silent and Live Auction!

Silent Auction (Virtual)

Like last year's virtual Auction, our Silent Auction will be all virtual, meaning all bidding for Silent Auction items will take place on your mobile device, or computer. We plan to open up bidding online on Tuesday, December 7, and close bidding once the Live Auction event ends. 

Live Auction (Virtual)

Our Live Auction will also be all virtual this year, and all bidding, whether you are at the Watch Party at the MJCC, or at your home (or someone else's), will take place on your mobile device, or computer. Live Auction bids are updated online as soon as they are placed, and our Auctioneer and Co-Host will narrate the bidding frenzy in real-time!
