Whether you’re looking to spoil someone special in your life – or treat yourself!– with over 100 quality items to choose from and bids starting at $1, there’s truly something for everyone. Carefully curated by discerning and dedicated volunteers, this year’s range of 100+ Auction Prizes include culinary delights, boutique handcrafted gifts, incredible family and pamper experiences and more! For those looking to keep the kids entertained, we have packages for Dreamscape at Docklands, Moonlit Sanctuary, A Maze ‘N Things, Melbourne Cable Park and Ropes Climb and more. For fine food, we have exquisite dining experiences at both new and iconic Melbourne venues, or for a great night out, there’s theatre tickets to Sister Act in Melbourne, Peter and the Dream Catcher in Sydney, and the Grand Auction Prize, tickets to all five days at the Grand Prix in Melbourne (for four!). And if you prefer a gift that can be wrapped, we’ve got you covered, with items including a new season watch from Trendhim, Gin from Four Pillars, a stunning jacket from Anna Prior Designs, toys and games for all ages and much, much more. The best part about Ardoch’s Great Auction is that every bid helps our work creating better education opportunities for children facing disadvantage. For example, your wining bid on the STEM Bee Bot Robots could help STEM programs reach students in under-privileged schools. Or, the Brain Starter’s kit – a child’s bookcase filled with great reads – could also help fund literacy programs that help students starting school developmentally behind to catch up. No matter what you choose, you can rest assured that the lasting gift you make will be to helping more children reach their full potential. Bidding runs from November 13th and ends at 5pm on November 17th – please check out the great range of gifts and remember to bid generously!
