Join us on Saturday, October 19th for the 2024 Bid Your Bark Out fundraising event.
Online bidding opens Wednesday, October 16th!
Dinner & Drinks
Dinner and a complimentary drink ticket are included with every event ticket.
This year, attendees can enjoy a variety of appetizers, pastas, and desserts.
Bartenders will be serving beer, wine, liquor, and non-alcoholic beverages throughout the event.
Silent Auction
During the event, attendees can bid on gift baskets and other items through the silent auction.
Local businesses, STS supporters, and our volunteer group donate baskets and items. These silent auction items vary in themes and value, ensuring everyone will be able to find a basket they would enjoy.
Live Auction
The excitement of the live auction is back for 2024! Bill Schiffman will auction off a variety of items in a fun, high-energy environment.
Last year’s items included THREE different OSU Football tickets, TWO golf packages, a trolly tour, and an AirBnB stay.
Wine Pull
A crowd pleaser! Attendees can participate in a “wine pull”. For every entry purchased, participants will blindly pull a bottle of wine wrapped in unmarked packaging, preventing them from knowing what they’re pulling! The type and value of wine they end up with is a fun surprise.
Celebrity Host
We are thrilled to announce our celebrity guest host - Kurt Ludlow! Kurt is one of the most respected and recognizable newscasters in Central Ohio as part of the ABC 6/FOX 28 team.
You can catch him anchoring Good Day Columbus on weekday mornings as well as every Friday for Furever Friday!
Event Proceeds
Bid Your Bark Out is our largest fundraising event of the year.
All proceeds will assist Stop the Suffering in helping to sponsor, transport, and adopt thousands of rural shelter dogs and cats.
EVENT TICKETS
Event tickets cost $95 each
