To celebrate Pride Month and support the LGBTQ+ community in Westchester and beyond, we’re launching a weeklong Instagram silent auction featuring generous donations from incredible local businesses and makers.
100% of winning bids will go to the LOFT LGBTQ+ Community Center in White Plains — offering essential advocacy, support programs, and education for LGBTQ+ individuals and allies.
How It Works
Auction items will be posted on our Instagram feed starting tonight, with new items added a few times a day through Friday, June 27.
To place a bid:
- Comment your maximum offer on the item’s post (do not reply to other comments — we may miss it). Please make note—we post a minimum bid increment in the comments for each item.
- Bids must be placed in comments only. We cannot accept DMs or emails.
- Each item will list a minimum bid increment in the caption.
Bidding closes on Sunday, June 29, at 8:00 PM EST.
Winners will be contacted via DM with donation instructions and will have 48 hours to provide proof of donation. If we don’t receive confirmation, the item will go to the next highest bidder.
Shipping to U.S. addresses is included in your winning bid. Local pickup at HudCo is encouraged. Item delivery will be coordinated directly with the donor.
