How to Watch the Pre-Show and Live Auction and Participate in Bidding
Register To Bid & Watch the Live Auction – Registering on Bidding for Good allows you to bid on both the online items and the Live items, while you watch the Virtual Live Auction.  If you have not already registered, click the “Register to Bid” button at the top of the bidding page.

Watch the Live Auction!  The Live Auction will be streamed through the St. John YouTube channel beginning with the Pre-Show at 6pm and the Live Auction at 7pm.

For the best experience during the live event, you will need access to two screens.  We recommend watching the Live Auction from your laptop or Smart TV and using your phone to bid on items.

Fund-A-Need

The school is calling upon your generous spirit to make a gift to Fund-A Need:  Support for our 2021-22 operating budget.  Opening our school for in-person instruction came with unanticipated costs.  The unplanned expenses of operating our school during the pandemic have led to COVID-related costs totaling more than $100,000.   As we have all learned, we cannot predict what the future holds.  The school must remain prepared for the unanticipated realities created by the pandemic.  Your support for the 2021 Fund-a-Need will help us Rock On into the new school year.

If you would like to make a Fund-a-Need donation, please visit www.biddingforgood.com/stjohnsea, register, and click on the “donate” button on the sidebar of the homepage.

If you prefer to donate by check, please note Fund-a-Need in the memo and send to:  Attn: Auction, St. John School, 120 N. 79th Street, Seattle, WA 98103.
