Support VANC for our 5th Annual Military Golf Fundraiser. Each year VANC raises thousands of dollars to help our military community and their families. We offer a variety of programs, including some very specialized funds, such as our VEFA fund (Veterans Emergency Financial Aid) serving active duty and veterans. We are also launching our Healthy Connections Program for active duty and veterans to support their well-being and counseling for mental health. Join our efforts by making a donation, bidding on an item, or sponsoring an event. We need your help... because the men and women who serve our Nation deserve our support — Today, Tomorrow, Always —

What if I don’t have a phone or can’t register online?

No phone, no problem! We can register you at any time during the fundraiser, and you can set up auto-bidding with a cap on your favorite items so you’ll never bid more than you have to or desire.

What happens in a bidding war with an auto-bidder?

If you get into a bidding war with someone who has auto-bidding on, the person on-site gets the last bid for the win when the auction closes. In the case of two auto-bidders, the last auto-bid into the system is the winner.

Each item has different bid increments. Some items may require you to place a bid of at least $10 higher each time, while other items may have a bid increment requirement of $50. Bid increments are set based on the price of the item.
