We invite you to attend the 1st Annual Singles in the City Auction for Education. This joint partnership with the Tom Joyner Foundation and the United Negro College Fund (UNCF) is a charity auction event to raise funds to provide much-needed scholarships to young people in pursuit of higher education.
HOW THE AUCTION WORKS
Attendees will bid on a variety of packages (called “experiences”) that include auction participants. For example, an experience can be a golf outing with a business professional or sports figure. EXPERIENCES ARE NOT DATES. The Singles Auction is strictly a fundraising event “for the cause”.
The winner of the bid will arrange the outing with the auction participant to take place at a date within two months of the auction.
