30th Annual Auction for a Cause Kickoff Promises Unprecedented Impact on Spartanburg Community
SPARTANBURG, SC – As the leaves begin to turn and the spirit of giving permeates the air, the Uptown Sertoma Club proudly announces the much-anticipated 30th Annual Auction for a Cause Kickoff Party, slated to take place on Wednesday, October 25th, at the exquisite Indigo Hall in Spartanburg. This milestone event promises an electrifying fusion of philanthropy and festivity, igniting a fire of support that has been transforming the Spartanburg community for over two decades.
Boasting an astonishing legacy of success, the Uptown Sertoma Club, in partnership with dedicated nonprofit agencies, has channeled over $1.3 million directly into the very heart of Spartanburg. This monumental feat has been achieved through the steadfast commitment of the Uptown Sertoma Club, orchestrating every facet of the Auction for a Cause event, while the participating agencies rally donations for the auction. A harmonious synergy of collaboration that has created a legacy of positive change year after year.
The success of the previous year’s endeavor paved the way for innovation and inclusivity. Embracing the challenge, the Auction expanded into both an exhilarating in-person event and an equally vibrant virtual silent auction. The results were nothing short of extraordinary: a sold-out crowd, an astonishing 470 featured items, a staggering 2,700 bids submitted, and a record-breaking $70,749.91 raised. A testament to the community’s unwavering support for causes that matter.
Eager to exceed expectations yet again, the 30th Annual Auction for a Cause Kickoff Party promises an unforgettable evening at Indigo Hall on October 25th. Attendees will indulge in a delectable Low Country Boil, tantalizing appetizers, delightful desserts, refreshing beverages, and the soul-stirring rhythm of live music. But the excitement doesn’t stop there. The subsequent nine days will witness the fervor of the Virtual Silent Auction, culminating in a grand finale on Friday, November 3rd. With the entire bidding experience seamlessly accessible via smartphones, participants can revel in the thrill of the auction, track their bids, and receive real-time updates – all at their fingertips.
Integral to this remarkable endeavor are Spartanburg’s cherished nonprofit agencies. The Bethlehem Center, The Haven, Project R.E.S.T., Upstate Family Resource Center, Ruth’s Gleanings, and Camp Sertoma exemplify the spirit of compassion and change that Auction for a Cause embodies. These esteemed organizations, serving the community’s diverse needs, rely on the event as their pinnacle fundraising opportunity, enabling them to amplify their impact and continue their invaluable work.
The Uptown Sertoma Club extends a warm invitation to citizens, businesses, and philanthropists to engage with this transformative event through sponsorship, donations, and active participation in the auction. Hundreds of remarkable items will grace the auction block, offering a remarkable array of choices for those eager to give while receiving something extraordinary in return.
Be part of a legacy that uplifts lives and empowers communities. Join us at the Kickoff Party and experience the exhilaration of a live auction that reverberates far beyond the event itself. Secure your place at this extraordinary celebration and support a cause that truly encapsulates the spirit of giving back. Registration and tickets for the Kickoff Party are available online at www.auction4acause.net.

Will a young Taurean be able to protect his family?

The penitentiary in Cainesville is the permanent home for enhanced lawbreakers until their will to be a legend is subdued and broken.
