Auction Summary: The Maskerade was a Success!

Fred Hulting and Karen Hulting, Auction Co-Chairs

The purpose of our annual auction is to create a fun, community-building event for our members and friends, and to raise money for the UUCM general fund. Once again, the 2020 Auction succeeded on both counts.

This year we celebrated with the theme of “Maskerade” as we converted to an all virtual event with an online silent auction and Zoom live auction.  We had 71 winning bidders and nearly 100 people attended the live event.  Together we raised nearly $22,000 for the church.

This year’s auction team was really innovative in figuring out how to respond to the COVID closures, and all of our donors and bidders jumped right it to help make it all work.  We were all determined to make this long-running church tradition happen, despite the challenges of the pandemic.  For this, we are very thankful, and there are many people that need to be recognized for their contributions.
