Raising funds for the Foundation for Geauga Parks
Because of wide-spread power outages this week, the Foundation has extended the closing date for their first-ever “Treasure Our Parks” Virtual Silent Auction. Find the secure auction link here. Bid early. Bid often.
How does it work?
1. Click the secure link to the silent auction (on phone, tablet or desktop)
2. Set up you own personal profile and login.
3. Browse items anytime.
4. Register a credit card for bidding and easy checkout (you may register your card in advance or at the time you begin bidding).
5. Watch for bid updates. (You will receive notifications by email or text messages, letting you know if you have been outbid.)
6. Don’t miss the auction closing. Bidding ends Tuesday, December 8 at 8PM. If you are not available for active bidding on an item you really want, you may purchase any item at the “Buy it Now” price, which will automatically close the bidding on that coveted treasure.
7. Easy checkout. Once bidding closes, if you are the winning bidder, your card will be credited and you will receive a receipt for your purchase.
8. Redeem your Treasures. Winner will be contacted by the FGP office to arrange pickup or delivery of physical items. Redemption certificates not containing physical items will be mailed immediately following auction close.
The FGP silent auction features nature outings, unique experiences, and other treasures not typically found in other fundraisers.
Here are just a few …
– Exclusive dinner for 8 with wine pairings at the rustic Affelder House (or a location of your choosing)

and so much more….
All proceeds from the silent auction support the The Foundation for Geauga Parks (FGP) mission. FGP is the only philanthropic nonprofit organization in Geauga County dedicated solely to raising money for any and all parks in Geauga, be they county, township, or community parks.
