Bay Laurel Elementary Raised $41,020 in Their First Auction

By FrontStream

Bay Laurel Elementary is a public K-5 school in California that has worked with FrontStream since 2012. And every year they run an auction with  FrontStream's BiddingForGood community, helping them "reach a whole new group of people beyond our parents.” Finding a way to draw in new supporters made a huge difference in how much Bay Laurel Elementary was able to raise.

Opening up their auction to our community of 4.4 million cause-minded bidders has expanded their base of supporters. The BiddingForGood community helped raise almost a third of the funds brought in by their online auction again this year. “Even if no one at our school donated or participated, we would still make money and make a difference.”

BiddingForGood expands auction catalogue possibilities.

Before using BiddingForGood, getting items was the most difficult part for Bay Laurel. BiddingForGood’s Instant Items gave Bay Laurel the opportunity to add items to their catalogue that they otherwise might not have been able to source.

Furthermore, the school “showcased” the the most valuable and popular auction items on their homepage.

Bay Laurel also created exclusive school items in their online auction, including “Storytime with the Principal” and “Librarian for the Day”. These “Bay Laurel Exclusives” sold for over $7,000 total.  BiddingForGood allows them to continuously invite new supporters to their auction while still allowing the school community to have its own unique pool of exclusive items to bid on.
