Big Brothers Big Sisters virtual Un-Gala auction underway

NEW PHILADELPHIA, Ohio - The Big Brothers Big Sisters of East Central Ohio's Un-Gala is live and ongoing for a virtual auction.

The action opened at 1:00 p.m. on the BBBS website and is different from in-person auctions of years past. This year, the event is online and will feature a mobile bidding platform that notifies bidders when they've been outbid to give them the best chance to win prizes.

Bidding will be open until 9:00 p.m. on the day of the official virtual event on Thursday, Nov. 19. There are over 100 items to view and bid on ranging from weekend retreats to holiday décor.

Registration for access to the silent auction is free and can be found on bigs4kids.com/gala. You can also reach the BBBS team by calling (330) 691-5417 or email bpearch@bigs4kids.com.
