Youth First will host its 23rd Annual Benefit Auction, presented by Edward Jones, on Thursday, April 24, 2025. The event takes place at Bally’s Evansville (421 NW Riverside Drive) and features a live and silent auction along with a heartwarming program. The public is invited; doors open at 5:00 pm CT and the program begins at 6:00 pm CT. This highly anticipated event is Youth First’s largest fundraising event and raises much-needed funds for Youth First programs and services.
Attendees will browse hundreds of silent auction items and enjoy delicious hors d’oeuvres. An easy-to-use mobile bidding experience allows guests to view and bid on auction items from their phone. They will see vacation and experience packages, jewelry, themed baskets, gift cards, designer bags, sports memorabilia, baked goods, and more!
The heartwarming program features a video about Youth First’s mission, an awards ceremony honoring youth, supporters, and educators who benefited from or advocated for Youth First, and an exciting live auction. Guests can raise their paddle as the auctioneer fires up the crowd and announces high bids!
Get ready to bid online beginning April 11! Bidding ends at the conclusion of the event on April 24. If supporters cannot attend in person, they are welcome to bid online and pick up winning items at the Youth First office the following week.
