The 2023 “UUSD Awesome Annual Auction“ will take place online from May 13th at 10 A.M. until May 20th at 4 P.M.
Please join the fun and bid on our tangible items such as jewelry, hand-crafted items, housewares, new items, and nearly new treasures. If you are looking to get connected to our beloved community, our dinners and events are wonderful items to purchase at the auction. You may meet at members’ homes, parks, or many other local areas to gather for food, games, or just relaxing and enjoying conversations with each other. Each auction event will provide the date, location, starting bid amount, and a description of what is offered.

Matching Gifts
Our Matching Gifts program allows everyone to help support the auction. Pledging to match a percentage (%) of the auction’s funds is a great way to boost the success of this important fundraiser. You can pledge to match any percentage (.025, .050, 1, or any other %). You can also cap your match at a specified sum. Here’s how it works: If you agree to match .05% and the auction raises $20,000, your matching donation would be $100.00. You could also cap your match at a set amount.( i.e. 1% not to exceed $150.00)
A successful auction is critical for the financial health of UUSD. Last year Matching Gifts accounted for 12% of the total auction revenue. Whether you buy an item or not, adding a matching gift is a great way to share in the fun and success of our AWESOME ANNUAL AUCTION.
