How the auction works
The silent auction is held entirely online, so bidders anywhere in the world can take part. That reach is the point: your item goes in front of golf course superintendents, owners and managers who may never walk the trade show floor, which makes a donation a low-cost addition to a marketing plan you are already running.
The auction is presented by the GCSAA Foundation, the philanthropic organization of GCSAA. Proceeds support environmental efforts, research and education programs that foster the sustainability of the game.
