“Auctions in August” is Gulf Coast Bank & Trust’s silent auction event hosted at all 16 branches. The items available for bidding are donated by various organizations and individuals to be auctioned for specific charities, schools or other non-profit groups. The auction is open to everyone, and each branch houses several unique items for bid, encouraging people to visit multiple branches for a complete auction experience.
Last year the bid list featured more than 1,000 items, raising approximately $186,000 for more than 300 charities and schools. Bid items included gift certificates, household items, week-long beach vacations and even a Corvette.
www.AuctionsinAugust.com contains photos, donor and participant information, current bids on items, and online bidding for designated items. Donations are still being taken for the auction; donors pick their favorite charity to benefit from the sale of their item. Please check the website for more information on the auction, or call (985) 646-6530. Auction items will be available for bid at the beginning of August!
