LIVE AUCTION BEGINS!

Admission

$35 per person pre-paid, $40 at the door.  Admission includes food and drinks. Prepay to avoid the lines, check in fast, pick up your paddle with your bidding number, and enter the Hellenic Center.  Once inside enjoy the flavorful food and drinks, peruse the silent auction items and start bidding. One bidding number per household, with additional paddles with the same bidding number available or, if you prefer,  a different bidding number is available upon request.

Parking

Ample free parking is available in the lots surrounding the Hellenic Center.

Babysitting

The auction is an adults-only event. Make plans with your babysitter now or take advantage of the auction night babysitting service provided by Paideia high school students.  They baby sit in your home and, best of all, they donate all their earnings to financial aid. Take advantage of this great offer by contacting Joanna Gibson at gibson.joanna@paideiaschool.org (no phone calls please).

Spending Money at the Auction for a Great Cause!

Balloons

Spend $20 and get a $25 gift certificate to one of Atlanta’s favorite restaurants. Bring cash and look for the student volunteers selling the balloons. They sell out quickly, so buy more than one and do it early.



Silent Auction

Items and gift certificates are arranged on tables situated around the Hellenic Center. The tables are grouped by category (Home and Garden, Sports and Fitness, etc.) and, with the exception of Art Gallery, by catalog number. Silent Auction opens at 5:30pm and the various sections begin closing at 7:30 at 10 – 15 minute intervals until 8:15 pm. Pay close attention to the closing times posted in each section so that you can bid often.

Live Auction

Paul Bianchi and his team of guest auctioneers introduce each live auction item. It’s easy to bid.  Just raise your paddle to bid on a vacation home such as the phenomenal retreat in Big Sky, Montanta, dinner for 12 prepared by chef Rathbun and four of his chef friends, precious class projects, an exclusive VIP tour and passes to Disney World, two Delta Air Lines business class tickets to anywhere Delta flies along with two nights at the Four Season’s Hotel and consultation with a local Atlanta travel expert and more. Every bid generates dollars to support the financial aid program, so bid often and bid high!
