HCWC Annual Auction - Blossoming in Hope
Details
Blossoming in Hope is HCWC’s 42nd Annual Auction, a heartfelt celebration where philanthropy, friendly competition, and community spirit all come together for a powerful cause.
At this elegant evening in the Texas State University Grand Ballroom, guests can mingle, bid, and make a real impact while enjoying the excitement of a live event. Whether you love the thrill of outbidding someone at the last second or you prefer quietly supporting from the sidelines, there is a way for everyone to take part.
- Live and Silent Auctions: Discover unique items, experiences, and treasures, then compete with fellow attendees to take them home while raising crucial funds.
- Bucket Raffle: Drop your tickets in for your favorite prizes and let luck do the rest as winners are drawn throughout the night.
- Golden Ticket: Snag a coveted Golden Ticket for a chance to win a Live Auction item of your choice, a playful twist that keeps the energy high.
- Wine Pull: Choose a mystery bottle and uncover a new favorite vintage, all while contributing to services that support survivors and families in need.
Supporters who prefer to participate from home can still join the action by bidding on Silent Auction items online and purchasing Golden Tickets while they last. Every bid, ticket, and bottle pulled directly supports HCWC’s work serving community members in crisis.
Gather friends, dress up for a meaningful night out, and be part of a tradition that has already raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for survivors. Blossoming in Hope is more than an auction; it is an invitation to help lives bloom again.
