Event Details for GUESTS

We're excited to have you join us for this upcoming event! Please review the below details and check with your Table Sponsor regarding any questions that you may have.

Date | Saturday, May 10th
Time | 6 - 9 PM
Location | Prince Conference Center at Calvin College

what you will experience
The evening will begin with the Silent Auction, during which time you will enjoy a "small-plate" style dinner. Some dinner items will be served on a buffet while others will be passed by the waitstaff, offering you the flexibility to both participate in the Auction and also enjoy a delightful dinner. After the conclusion of the Silent Auction, you will enjoy a sit-down dessert with the rest of your table. The evening will conclude with a short program and the Live Auction.

what the goal is
The goal of this auction is to be able to raise MORE than the value of the items. We will be encouraging our guests to bid above the value of the item, to make the most of each dollar donated. Remember, each donation above value can be claimed as a tax deduction, so please plan to bid often and bid generously!

what this event will benefit
The proceeds of this event will benefit the building of a year-round Retreat Center at Upper Peninsula Bible Camp. UP Bible Camp is located in Little Lake, Michigan and like most camps operates primarily during the summer months. The year-round Retreat Center will allow UP Bible Camp to meet the needs of the community by offering facilities to schools, churches, and other organizations.

please note
You will receive official invitations at the end of April. If you are the guest of a Table Sponsor, they will be presenting you with your invitation. If you have purchased your own ticket, your invitation will be sent directly to you.
