Welcome to the official bidding site of the 2023 VanderLeek Cup Hospice Regatta! Bidders can use this site to register, view auction items, see winnings, and check out from their phone.
This year, silent auction bidding will occur on paper bid sheets rather than with mobile bidding. However, guests still must register to participate in the auction. Register in advance through the "Register Now" link above in order to start bidding as soon as you arrive!

Auction Rules
By bidding in Hospice of Holland's silent auction, each bidder agrees to these auction rules.
Bidders must be registered to participate in the auction. Once the auction is closed, the highest bidder is the winner. In the event of a dispute, a representative of Hospice of Holland will act as the final authority. Purchases are final. No returns or exchanges will be issued. The bidder will be responsible for arranging for trips, parties, meals, etc. within the prescribed time limit and according to constraints set forth by the item donor. All items are “as is.” Hospice of Holland has attempted to describe and catalog items appropriately, but neither warrants nor represents and in no event shall be responsible for the correctness of descriptions, genuineness, authorship, or condition of the items.
