We continue to put the safety and wellbeing of the CF community first. If you are not feeling well, we ask that you please do not attend. Please review the CF Foundation’s current attendance policy on cff.org. If you have any questions or concerns or other infection prevention and control policies, please contact Laura Hadley at lhadley@cff.org or (801) 532-2335.

If you have not submitted your table members’ names and email addresses, please send them to CF Foundation staff member, Camille Brown at cbrown@cff.org as soon as possible so that we can reach out to them and help them register.

Even though guests are seated at a table, all guests must register individually before the event. Registration ensures we have your contact info for check-in, auction bidding, and event updates. Click here to register.

Please register in advance and sign the event waiver. This will help streamline the check-in process at the event. Guests may also check-in when they arrive. It just won't be as quick.

Check-in for all guests opens at 5:30pm. Doors to the ballroom open at 6:00pm

When you arrive, all guests are asked to visit a volunteer at the registration desk to receive your table number and a program book with a Live Auction bid number on the back. (Please do not skip this step when you arrive!)

After you check-in, grab a drink to start your evening and view the auction items in the reception area. From trips, to art, to entertainment packages, we have 250+ items that appeal to many different tastes!

When the doors to the grand ballroom open at 6:00pm, we invite you to find your table and begin sampling food from our incredible tasting stations around the ballroom. When sampling the booths, there is no need to wait in one big line. Simply grab a plate and go to the tasting station you'd like to sample. Menu items for each booth will be listed in the printed program.  

Once you register, you will receive information about participating in our online auction in advance of the event. Please take a moment to look through our auction items and bid at your leisure. The silent auction will be closing on Nov 22 at 8:00pm.

Winner notifications will be sent as soon as the auction closes. You’ll receive a message letting you know which items you’ve won, along with a secure link to complete payment online. Auction item pick-up will open at the conclusion of the program (around 9:30 PM) in the Reception area and will remain open until 11:00 PM. Please have proof of payment ready when picking up your items. To ensure a smooth and efficient process for all guests, we kindly ask that you wait until the designated pick-up time. Any items not collected that evening will be available for pick-up from the CF Foundation office by appointment only. Thank you for helping us keep the process organized by not requesting early pick-up.

Please scroll down below to see a list of some items you'll be able to bid on in the Live and Silent Auctions. For the Live Auction, you will bid using the bid number on the back of your program booklet.
