Introducing Mobile Bidding for 24th Annual Evening of Fine Wines

Manchester, Conn. (April 15, 2016) – MCC Foundation’s annual Evening of Fine Wines fundraiser is using mobile-bidding technology for the first time this year to facilitate bidding during the silent auction portions of the event. Guests will be able to use their smart phones or tablets to submit their bids.

Mobile bidding allows EoFW guests to submit bids anytime from anywhere the night of the event. Those without a smart phone can get help from a “bidding buddy” volunteer. These volunteers will be roaming throughout the venue, and will also be located at clearly identified bidding stations. There is no app to download.

People can pre-register their email and cell number. To do this, contact Diana Reid at dreid@manchestercc.edu. As they arrive at the event, guests confirm their cell number and swipe their credit card (data is kept secure), and then a text is sent to each registered cell phone that includes a link to the mobile bidding page.

This year will feature a silent and live auction with more than 150 packages, divided into the following categories: Silent Wine; Fabulous Food and Wine; Fine Art; Glorious Getaways; Great Gifts; Mind, Body, and Spirit; and Sports and Leisure. There will also be a live auction. For more information, visit the website.
