A Golden Opportunity!

A long-standing tradition of the GHS Auction has been our Golden Ticket

Purchase one or more Golden Tickets for your chance to win FIRST PICK of our LIVE AUCTION PACKAGES.

Only 100 tickets will be sold at $200 a ticket.

This is open for both online bidders and onsite bidders. Our Auctioneer pulls the winner at the beginning of the Live Auction. The winner will be marked in Handbid for everyone to see. You will receive a notification in Handbid if you won! You will also hear from us the next day about your winning ticket.

How it works?

ONLINE BIDDERS - When you purchase a Golden Ticket, you must pay in Handbid. You can find the invoice in the invoices section of your Handbid app. Payments not received will forfeit your opportunity to win. Bidding closes out at noon (AST) on Saturday, March 1st (day of the event). Your ticket(s) will be placed into the Golden Ticket Box for drawing at the beginning of the Live Auction. You must provide your Live Auction package selection when you purchase your ticket by emailing auction@giffthillschool.org. This information will be entered on your ticket along with your contact information. We will make every attempt at noon March 1st to secure your Live Auction selection. If we have not received a response with your selection, we will select the next number drawn until the Golden Ticket prize is selected.

ONSITE BIDDERS - Purchase your Golden Ticket and place it in the Golden Box at our Silent Auction Tent.
