Bid Where You Live Online Auctions

In the summer of 2020, UWNEMN began holding online auctions as a way to raise funds in lieu of in-person events canceled by the pandemic.

To-date, with the support of local businesses and organizations donating auction items and online auction supporters, UWNEMN has raised more than $17,000 through Bid Where You Live auctions!

Thank you to Making Smiles Bright auction supporters!

Together, you united to raise $2,020 for UWMEN's Smiles United dental program which has expanded to provide preventive and restorative dental care to uninsured and underinsured patients of ALL AGES due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
