YOUTH AUCTION FUNDRAISER
TO SUPPORT THOSE ATTENDING THE NATIONAL YOUTH GATHERING, SUMMER 2025

We hope to raise $40,000 to send our group of 43 youth and adults who are planning on attending the National Youth Gathering summer 2025 in New Orleans. Beginning October 20, we will have a table in the lower narthex to help you register, donate, or support our youth as they prepare for this event.

The auction will take place on Saturday, November 16, starting at 5:30 pm at the Hamilton site. Cost to attend in person is $15.00, which gets you access to the online silent bidding, bid paddle number for live auction, food, and tons of entertainment. Menu includes New Orleans favorites such as:

  • shrimp cocktail,

  • muffuletta sandwiches,

  • sausage/chicken gumbo,

  • dirty rice,

  • bread pudding, and drinks!

  • A Gluten Free option will also be available.

  • There will also be water and snacks for later.

IF YOU ARE NOT ABLE TO ATTEND IN PERSON BUT WOULD LIKE TO SUPPORT, YOU CAN PURCHASE A TICKET FOR $5.00, WHICH GIVES YOU ACCESS TO BID ON THE SILENT AUCTION ITEMS IN THE CATALOG.

Onsite child care is also available for $5.00 a child. We will offer snacks only for children, so please feed them before you bring them. Ways you can help:

  • PLAN ON ATTENDING - in person or online, Saturday, November 16.
    You can get the scoop, purchase tickets, and view the auction catalog. Check back often as items and details are added!

  • DONATE a gift card, sporting tickets, vacation rentals or theme basket to the auction – contact Christy@trinluth.org.

  • PRAY for our group as they prepare financially & spiritually for this life changing event.
