Preliminary Schedule
Silent Auction & Reception
6 - 7 pm
Not as raucous as the Live Auction to follow, the Silent
Auction and Reception are filled with cocktails, hors d’oeuvres,
good times with friends, and some low-key bidding for about
50 minutes. Then, as the deadline nears, things tend to get a
little crazy and it’s everyone for themselves!
Auction & Dinner
7 - 10 pm
Always filled with clamor, craziness, and plenty of surprises,
the PCCA Auction is the liveliest night on the PCCA calendar.
PCCA revelers bid on a variety of fabulous trips, ballgames,
tools, equipment, jewelry, and much, much more. All proceeds
go directly to building programs and services for PCCA
members, so everyone is encouraged to bid early and often
and to have a great time.
