The First Parish
Community Auction
Our Community Auction is all about two things we love: building connections and raising funds. Each year, we join forces to create something joyful together—and then celebrate it with food, fun, and fabulous experiences. The real treasure isn’t just what you win at the auction, but the friendships and memories you make along the way.
The big event happens every November, with donation requests starting in September. And here’s the fun part: you get to decide what to offer! Think of it as a chance to share your talents, treasures, or just plain good ideas.
Some favorites from past years include:
Hosting a cozy dinner, brunch, or tea
Throwing a backyard or patio party
Planning a family-friendly game night at the church
Leading a special walk through Cambridge or Boston
Guiding a nature hike in the woods
Offering a weekend stay at a vacation home
And don’t stop there—tickets to a concert or game, gift certificates to local spots, lessons in something quirky or useful, professional services, or anything else you dream up are all welcome. The wider the variety, the better the auction!
So let your imagination roam. Big or small, simple or splashy, your contribution helps make the auction a success—and brings us all closer together.
