The Harvest Celebration Online Auction is Now Open!
The 13th Annual Harvest Celebration Dinner & Fundraiser is coming up on September 30, 2012 at the Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum in Chicago. This year, for the first time, we're kicking off the celebration with an online auction of gift certificates, books, tickets and tours, getaways and other items generously donated by some of our favorite green businesses and other great places! Regardless of whether you'll be joining us on September 30, we hope you'll take a look at the items in our online auction and place your bids now. The online portion of the auction closes on September 25 at 10 PM.
Not only does bidding give you a chance to win some really spectacular items, it also makes you a participant in our most important fundraising event of the year. Your support allows us to continue working with faith communities across Illinois to bring about a more just and sustainable world.
Stronger Congregations for a Sustainable World
Since 1999, Faith in Place has partnered with over 900 congregations of all faiths - Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, Sikh, Zoroastrian, Baha’i and Unitarian Universalist - helping them save water and energy, support sustainable farming, advocate for environmentally-responsible public policies, and teach young people about their relationship to the natural world.

AUCTION WATCH: Featured Items
How It Works
Once you register with Bidding for Good (it's easy - we promise!) you'll be able to start placing your bids. Lots of our items are "online only," which means those items will go to whoever has the highest bid when the online portion of our auction closes on September 25. Other items are "online & live" - for these items the bidding starts online, but it doesn't stop there. The highest online bid on these items will become the opening bid in the Silent Auction at the Harvest Celebration on September 30. You can reserve your seats for the Harvest Celebration today!
Hoping to win an "online & live" item but can't make it to the celebration on September 30? Not a problem! Just let us know which item you'd like to bid on and how high you're willing to go (your maximum bid), and we'll assign a volunteer to be your proxy at the event. She or he will place bids for you, and if you win, we'll contact you after the event and make arrangements to send you your item! Email Rosalyn at rosalyn [at] faithinplace.org to arrange for a proxy bidder.
You'll be able to pay for items you win the night of the Harvest Celebration with cash, check or credit card. If you aren't at the event itself, we'll send you an email with a link that allows you to pay online along with instructions for mailing a check. However you choose to pay, the cost of shipping is on us!
