About the Fellowship Auction
Each year UU Princeton’s Fellowship Auction provides a fun and enriching way for members to get to know one another better. The auction’s thoughtfully considered offerings feature unique (and oftentimes quirky) experiences, talents and treasures donated by members, and serve to bring the community together in truly memorable ways.
Originally a gala-like event with drinking, eating, socializing and bidding, the COVID-19 pandemic pushed the auction into the virtual world in 2020, replacing what was an in-person, evening party with an extended full week of on-line bidding. In 2024 the in-person celebration was brought back to cap off the thrilling week of virtual bidding.
All proceeds collected from the Fellowship Auction benefit UU Princeton directly, and serve as one of the biggest funding sources of the organization’s operations. This is why members are encouraged to donate and bid generously- It is one of the most delightful opportunities in our community to both give and receive generously, and support our spiritual home at the same time.
