Hamilton Place and the Brainerd/East Brainerd Council of Chamber of Commerce will host the 7th annual “Bid on the Future” live auction to benefit Junior Achievement on Saturday, Jan. 31, at 6 p.m. in center court at Hamilton Place Mall.
Over the past six years, this event has grown from a small auction featuring only birdhouses to an event with a variety of Valentine’s Day gifts. The event raised more than $32,000 last year for the K-12 programs which allowed more than 1,280 students to experience the Junior Achievement program in their local classroom.
Featured items this year include a 42” Sylvania LCD Digital Flat Screen TV, two Continental Airline tickets to anywhere in the US, Canada & Mexico (except Hawaii), Nashville Predator NHL tickets, jewelry, Lenovo laptop computer, spa packages, eight hours of professional interior design, sports memorabilia, two night stay at Staybridge Suites in Charlotte, N.C. and a Coach purse just to name a few. The live auction will feature 50+ items.
Bidders can start their bidding now by visiting the online auction at www.bidonthefuture.com. The online auction will close on Jan. 30. The on-line items will be auctioned live on Jan. 31 at 6 p.m.
