An Evening to Benefit Bergen County Family and Children's Charities: The Universal Unitarian Outreach Auction

The Universal Unitarian Outreach Auction: An Evening to Benefit Family and Children's Charities

What is the Outreach Auction?

The Outreach Auction is dedicated to raising funds for six designated charities that meet and fulfill basic life needs. 
The evening features a live auction and a tricky tray and is sponsored by three Unitarian Universalist congregations in Bergen County: Central Unitarian Church, Unitarian Society of Ridgewood and Unitarian Universalist Congregation of the Palisades with 100% of the proceeds going to the selected charities. The charities are selected based on the impact they have on those in need in Bergen County, regardless of religious affiliation.

The first Outreach Auction was held in 2000. Over the years, this brainchild of Central Unitarian Church has grown to include two additional congregations, and has raised more than $450,000 to support Bergen County charities. The auction raises money with bids from $10 to $1,000, demonstrating that when we work together, we are greater than the sum of our parts.

This year’s auction will be held on:
Saturday, November 12, at 6:30 p.m.
Central Unitarian Church 156 Forest Avenue Paramus, NJ 07652

Tickets: $30 (includes hors d’oeuvres, beverages, coffee, dessert and a free sheet of tricky tray tickets valued at $15)
