WRIMB FALL AUCTION AND TALENT SHOW​

Hart Instrumental Music Families,
​
The WRIMB looks forward to welcoming you to the Fall Auction and Talent Show Saturday, September 26th! The auction is open now and the talent show goes live at 7pm. The fundraiser will support the instrumental music program’s ability to pay for sheet music, instruments, clinicians and more for our children.

AUCTION: Bidding for the fun prizes begins Saturday and closes at 11:59pm on October 3, 2020. There are dozens of fun prizes, including wine flights, meals, yoga, music lessons and more! Gift certificates can be used for take out or virtual as of today. For example, Downtown Yoga offers online yoga classes and Color Me Mine has to go craft kits. If a Pleasanton location is not open, we only included vendors with nearby locations. 

Check out the catalog of items up for auction at:  https://charityauction.bid/Fall2020WRIMB
Once you are at the site, go to Online Registration in the upper right to register as a bidder. You just need a name and valid email to register. Once you register, Auctria will send you an email to confirm. Once you have confirmed registration the Online Registration tab becomes “My Account.” The registration confirmation email also includes a code to register on the Auctria app. Then bid away!  Pick up and delivery of the prizes will be on October 7.
