charity auction
Philanthropic sale event
A charity auction is an event where items or experiences are sold to the highest bidder, with proceeds going to a nonprofit cause.
Silent auctions use written bids; live auctions feature an auctioneer.
Donated goods—artwork, vacation packages, signed memorabilia—typically fetch prices above market value because bidders are also contributing to the charity: The gala's charity auction raised over fifty thousand dollars.
