Cara's Kegger 2024 Auction

Cara's Kegger raises awareness and funding for Roger Neilson Children's Hospice to support their mission to meet the unique palliative care needs of newborns, children, youth, and their families.

We share Cara's story to help ensure those who need it most get the same support that we did.

We will be celebrating Cara's life at our 4th annual Cara Kegger. We remain forever thankful for everything that Roger Neilson Children's Hospice have done, and continue to do to support us.

To date, the Kelly Family has raised over $32,000 for Roger Neilson Children's Hospice, in Cara's memory. Our goal for Cara's Kegger 2024 is to raise $18,000 in her fourth year since joining our family. Please help us meet our goal and support Roger Neilson Children's Hospice.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT ALL AUCTION ITEMS BELOW -- PLEASE READ CAREFULLY AND DO NOT HESITATE TO CONTACT US IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS BEFORE PLACING YOUR BIDS

1. The Cara's Kegger 2024 Auction opens at 12:45AM on Friday, July 12th.

2. The Cara's Kegger 2024 Auction closes at 7:00PM on Sunday, July 21st.

3. Extended bidding is enabled for all items. If an item receives a bid during the final 3 minutes, the item end time will be extended to allow for 3 additional minutes of bidding. This process repeats until no new bids are received during the final 3 minutes of the item bidding window or the auction has been extending for a maximum of 30 minutes beyond the original end time. This allows for bidders to relax during the end of an auction knowing they'll have time to enter a new bid if they're outbid in the final 3 minutes, making it easier to maintain their lead on one or more items.

4. Outbid text and email notifications is also enabled. For participants who opt to receive these, you will automatically be notified if you are outbid on any items.

5. Once the Cara's Kegger 2024 Auction has closed, winning bidders will be automatically sent notifications which contain a link to the winning bidder's invoice page. Invoices display the items won, the winning bid amounts, the total amount due, and a payment button. Winning bidders can click the payment button to pay with a credit card, debit card, PayPal account, and more.

6. 100% of all funding raised through Cara's Kegger 2024 Auction is donated to Roger Neilson Children's Hospice, in Cara's memory.

7. Following confirmation of payment, please contact us at caraskegger@gmail.com to arrange for pick-up of your item(s) in Pembroke, Arnprior, or Ottawa. Item(s) that are digital (e.g., an e-gift card) will be sent via e-mail.
