If you've never been, or even if you've always been, this year's 2007 Health Fund Auction will be different in a number of ways. Come comfortable, or come dressed to the nines, but do come! We'll have plenty of fun!

The Derby Museum is a fantastic place, even if you think a Derby is just a type of hat - But there's more! There will be good eats, so don't think you need to go out to dinner first, that's what your entry fee for the Health Fund Auction is all about! There will be a cash bar, lots of friends and a ton of stuff for you to bid on. Peruse the rest of the pages on this website for a taste of things to come.

you'll want to come early - there will be a silent auction, we have a ton of things to help tempt you and open up those wallets. Once the silent auction closes, the main event will start. Complete with Vannas, and tempting goodies, there will be a grand time with plenty of items that you will just have to have! So bring your checkbook, and do turn out for a rousing good time!

It's an event you won't want to miss!

Please read the details about the auction below so that you are prepared to bid and not miss out on a thing! We promise you a night filled with many great items, fabulous food, good times with friends, and memories that you won't soon forget.

Silent Auction Information

A first for the Health Find Auction!

We'll be having a silent auction! We have a limited time, so the items in the main live auction have been carefully selected for maximum fun! However, there were a great many items that have been donated that are just too fun and cute to ignore! So, we'll be having a silent auction during the first part of the event.

Don't just sit and eat - and don't let your friends win the items you want! Go sign your name and your bid on the items of your choice - But make sure you're the last one signing! This part of the event will end prior to the main auction. We'll want everyone to focus on having fun with that part of the evening.

We're hoping that everyone can participate and that there will be something to fit everyone's tastes!
