We have an impressive Live Auction line-up this year!
If you know anyone who sadly cannot attend the Promise Ball, but they want to bid on one of the Live Auction packages, they can place a PROXY BID. A proxy bid is secured by using this online form and it allows us to bid on a package up to the maximum amount a donor specifies. They can also specify the incremental increase for their bids on the form.
Please contact Kristina at kcardenas@jdrf.org or 210-527-8467 with any Live Auction questions.
