Serendipity Auction

Welcome to the 2025 Serendipity Fundraiser!

Bidding for this year’s Online Auction begins Wednesday, October 29 and closes on Saturday, November 8. Join us for a Viewing Luncheon after service on Sunday, November 2. Enjoy a hearty bowl of chili with cornbread while browsing auction items in person. Our Bidding Buddies will be on hand to answer questions, assist with placing bids, and help with Buy-It-Now purchases that you can take home the same day.

We are looking for donations! Here is a form to enter information about your donation. Did you know that UCE has hosted an auction fundraiser annually for 47 years? We’ve learned some things along the way. If you have a budding idea that you’d like help nurturing, please reach out to us. You can email us at auction@ucevanston.org or call Chris at 773-368-1203.

We also want to share an important update: we have discovered that while our customary Saturday night “Celebration Event” has been a wonderful tradition, it no longer adds to our fundraising success. Because the Online Auction has become such a strong centerpiece, we are exploring a new occasion worthy of being our largest social event of the year. Stay tuned for more details—and thank you for supporting this year’s Serendipity Fundraiser!
