Silent Auction
Bid on a variety of enticing items and experiences in our silent auction. From art pieces and luxurious getaways to gourmet baskets and pet-centric products, there's something to pique everyone's interest.

Food Options
White Water Bar & Grill will provide a selection of delicious food options available for purchase throughout the event. From light appetizers to more substantial fare, you'll find something to satisfy your appetite while supporting our cause.

Dress Code
We encourage casual riverside attire suitable for a daytime outdoor event. Think sundresses, casual slacks, or nice shorts with tops. However, we want you to be comfortable and enjoy the event, so please dress in what makes you feel best.

Parking
Free parking will be available at the venue. Our volunteers will guide you to the designated parking areas.

Weather Considerations
This is an outdoor riverside event. In case of inclement weather, we have contingency plans to ensure the event can proceed comfortably. Updates will be posted on our website and social media channels if adjustments are needed.

Silent Auction

Our silent auction is a critical part of the fundraising effort for Rescue Runway. Each bid you place contributes directly to the medical care and well-being of animals in our shelter, making a tangible difference in their lives. For our 2025 event, we've worked hard to curate a selection that appeals to a wide range of tastes and interests.

Each item is donated by our generous supporters, who share our passion for animal care and welfare.

To help you navigate, the items are categorized by type, such as Artwork, Experiences, Goods, Services, and more. Each item has a detailed description, estimated value, starting bid amount, and a photograph to give you a good idea of what you're bidding on.

Remember, bidding isn't just about the thrill of winning an auction—it's also a fun and meaningful way to support our mission. So, get ready to place your bids and make a difference!

Happy bidding!
