Bid as often as you would like and on as many items as you wish! All dollars raised will be donated to Success By 6.

This auction utilizes proxy bidding. A proxy bid allows you to enter the maximum amount you're willing to spend with the goal of winning the item at the lowest possible price. The system will bid for you each time at the designated bid increase, up to your maximum proxy bid amount, as additional bids are entered on the item. So set a proxy bid to help you bid on what you like the most!

United Way of the Wabash Valley is working towards a bold goal of moving 10,000 families from financial struggles and into stability. But there is no “one size fits all” answer, and no one person or organization can do it alone. United Way is building a collective movement of people and organizations to tackle the complex issue of poverty and the dilemma of struggling working families within our community.

United Way of the Wabash Valley’s collective impact approach addresses people’s immediate needs but also works collaboratively with other partners in the community toward changing systems so that people can avoid challenges altogether.

To create change United Way is investing in the focus areas of Education, Health, Financial Stability, Community, and Safety Net Services.
