Auction Volunteers A very special thank-you to all the volunteers who gave so much of their time for our event this year!

Co-Chairs Auctioneer Marisa & Joe Janack Ben Markham

Auction Coordinators Head Chef Deborah Heimel & Rachel Rumely Dave Coughlin

Putting on the Auction is a venture that takes as long as studying for a stint on Jeopardy and involves almost as many volunteers. This endeavor has grown so much over the last several years that trying to name every person who has done something to help has become more and more difficult to do without inadvertently forgetting someone.

So, youth or adult, volunteer or staff, be it brainstorming ideas, stuffing envelopes, designing beautiful posters, selling tickets, chopping vegetables, hanging decorations, picking something up from the store, donating an item, checking people in or out, organizing volunteers, serving dinner, managing the bar, tabulating the results, cleaning up after the event, or any of a million other things — please know that you have made a significant contribution to our beloved Paulist Center.

Sponsors Our auction is possible because of the generous donations of our sponsors!
