UUCC’s Annual Auction 2026 is Saturday, November 14. Doors open at 4PM.
UUCC’s Annual Auction is a unique part of UUCC’s congregational life. Not only does it build community and help us fundraise on a Saturday evening in November; it continues to nurture community throughout the year through the donated and hosted events that congregants donate, bid on, and attend. There is always both a silent auction (in Sanctuary B) and live vocal auction (in Sanctuary C). This event is open to adult newcomers and UUCC members alike. Childcare will be available.
As UUCC member Bob Muller, puts it: “People set their social calendar at the auction every year”. He couldn’t be more right. There is hardly a social gathering among UUCC congregants that doesn’t eventually bring up some recent or upcoming auction event that someone is excited about. And there is something fun about receiving that reminder email about an auction event in May that you forgot all about.
All are invited to participate the auction, whether it’s your first day at UUCC or you’ve been attending for years. We hope you join us!
Welcoming Your Donations to the Auction Beginning September 1
The UUCC Annual Auction is eagerly anticipated every year, so mark your calendars for the evening of Saturday, November 14. It isn’t just a party or just a fundraiser, it’s a microcosm of the fellowship and contributions of time, effort, and fortune that make UUCC the vibrant community we love.
The auction team looks forward to your delicious 🍰, creative 🖼️, enticing 🚞, informative 🤔, and helpful donations 💛, starting Tuesday, September 1. Complete the donation form below!
We are also looking for people willing to volunteer their time to help on auction night. (We are also happy to have volunteers for a few pre-auction tasks, but the auction team has most of that covered.)
Come see us at our table in Sanctuary B every Sunday after worship, starting on September 13, for help with donating or help with registering or to sign up as an auction night volunteer.

Donors submitting event donations by October 18 will be entered in a raffle for two prizes of a $100 rebate on your purchases at this year’s auction.
Donations close Sunday, November 1.
The success of the auction depends on congregants like you who offer rare items, delicious foods, helpful services, delightful getaways, unique dinners, engaging music, educational tours, other fun events, and so much more to fill our auction catalog.
