Silent Auction

This year’s Silent Auction will be one for the record books! We are excited to host the largest Strides 4 Sight Silent Auction to date, with items falling into a large range of categories and prices.  This year’s auction will be available online and in-person. 

The ONLINE Auction will start Friday, September 27 at 10am and close Monday, September 30 at 10am.

Items will be available at the event and if the bidder chooses to buy for a “Want It Now” price, the bidder will be able to pay onsite and bring home the item home that day. 

All proceeds will assist with The Vision Project and add to the fundraising efforts of Strides 4 Sight. Cash, Check and Online payment will be accepted.

PARKING INFORMATION

There are two parking lots available – one on the North side of the lake (off of West 84th Street), and one off the West side (off Chalet Road). The larger lot is off Chalet Rd, and there is a little bit of a walk to the bandshell. The North lot is slightly smaller, but has a shorter walk to the bandshell. (See the map to the right.)

SPONSORSHIP

Participating as a sponsor directly impacts the lives of individuals in our community. Proceeds from Strides 4 Sight allow the Minnesota Eye Foundation to increase its outreach efforts and expand the scope of The Vision Project.
