Here is how our St. James Neighbor Day Fundraising Auction works:
- Owners, managers, and loyal patrons of local businesses donate gift cards/certificates, merchandise, and/or cash all year long to support our annual Neighbor Day Auction which takes place during the Fall.
- Donors express their interest via email to neighbor@stjamesknox.org, by calling at 865-659-6742, or by submitting our online DONATION Form.
- Donated items are showcased at sjNeighborday.com almost immediately after they are received to provide maximum recognition to the participating businesses. Links to their websites are also included.
- Cash donations may be any size. They may also include pledges to match donations made by other donors.
- Knoxville neighbors, (and beyond), may browse the showcased items at the website without registering.
- Neighbors interested in bidding must first click the AUCTION REGISTRATION tab to receive the login credentials they must have to bid.
- Registered neighbors may bid online during the 3-week period in late September and early October.
- Bids are automatically updated at the site in real time.
- The Neighbor Day Crew coordinates winner notification via telephone and email after the auction closes.
- Coordination of winner pickups and collection of payments occurs at St. James Episcopal Church (1101 N. Broadway) during the following week.
* Popular donated items include: gift cards & gift certificates, gift bags & gift baskets, jewelry, fine arts & crafts, antiques & collectibles, food & beverage, tickets & passes, and more.
