Bid farewell to paper bid sheets and hovering over items as an auction ends to protect your bid. Say hello to BidPal, a wireless bidding device that will be featured at this year’s One Hope Ball on November 7, 2015!

With BidPal, guests at this year’s One Hope Ball will be able to:

– Bid from anywhere
– Receive outbid alerts
– Watch your favorite items
– Place maximum bid amounts
– View items with no bids
– Receive instant notification of items won

Before the One Hope Ball even starts, you’ll get a text on your smartphone with a link to the auction where you’ll be able to view every auction item — item description, bid increments, photo and donor information. You can browse the silent auction area as well as view items on your personal smartphone and bid from anywhere at any time during the event.

During registration, One Hope Ball guests who have not RSVP’d with their smart phone information, will receive a card with instructions on how to do so.  There will also be volunteers available throughout the night to help out with any questions or concerns you may have.

Want to learn how to BidPal before the event?
