Silent Auction
Please register now and begin bidding August 3rd when the auction opens! https://app.galabid.com/aaw24/
In an ongoing effort to support the missions of the Up with People International Alumni Association and Up with People, we are presenting items for silent auction bidding during Annual Alumni Week (AAW).
Proceeds from this year's silent auction will be used toward not only future reunions and the Eduardo Aguirre Legacy Fund, but also alumni-led non-profit organizations like the Reach Out Alumni Assistance Program. Around the world, individuals and groups receive much needed funding to survive and thrive—please help the IAA continue this good work.
The auction will close Friday, 9 August, at 22:30. Items will be available immediately for pick up in the UCH Foundation Building. Please claim any in-person pick up items you won in the next hour after the auction has closed.
If you have something to donate, Brenda Moran (’77C) and Pat Berry-Glassner (’69B) are coordinating, please contact them at silentauction@uwpiaa.org.
