The Auction Table

Nothing is collected and nothing is awarded here — this table exists so you can feel the game. In a real campaign, outcomes are sealed before you play and checkable after.

How organizations raise money with The Auction Table

This practice table is the donor's side. Here is yours — the proven ways campaigns turn this game into real money, each one live on the platform today.

1. The Online Chinese Auction

Run the community’s favorite format without the hall: donated prize packages from local businesses, entry tiers like the classic ticket packs, and a live drawing night. The table becomes a page and your reach becomes everyone the community can text.

Best for: Schools, sisterhoods, any community with an auction tradition.

2. The Sponsor Spotlight Ladder

Each basket carries a business sponsor whose name shows to every visitor for the campaign’s whole run — advertising they’d pay more for elsewhere, which is why the prize table costs you nearly nothing to fill.

Best for: Communities with a local business ecosystem; journal-ad culture.

3. The Event’s Second Act

Pair the auction’s two-week arc with your annual campaign in a different month — the auction as the season’s event, the wheel as the drive. Same ledger, two textures, no committee burnout.

Best for: Organizations running a full annual calendar.
