How do I text a bid for an item?

It's easy to text a bid for an auction item!

Once you text the event keyword to the number provided, you will receive a welcome text message. When your profile is set up, you are ready to bid and donate.

To donate, text "Donate". You will receive a response asking how much you would like to donate. Respond with the dollar amount you would like to donate and you will receive a confirmation message. If you have a card on file, you can confirm and have your card charged for the donation. If you do not have a card on file, you will receive a link to the event site where you can add a card to your profile. 

To bid, take a look at the "Items" page of the event site. You can text the item number to the phone number provided to text-to-bid. 

Send the number of the item you are interested in and you will receive a response showing the current bidding level. Enter the dollar amount you want to bid and you will receive a reply confirming your bid and congratulating you on being the highest bidder! 

You will receive a text outbid notification if you are outbid on the item. You will be able to increase your bid by responding to that text with a bid amount higher than the current bid.
