2022 GALA

We are excited to share that our auction is mobile!

We will be using Handbid, a mobile silent auction platform that allows you to bid from your smartphone–so whether or not you’re joining us in-person, you can still participate in our auction fundraiser!

Save time at check-in by getting setup and start bidding before you arrive!

STEP 1: DOWNLOAD THE HANDBID APP 

If you have an iPhone or Android, you can download the Handbid app from the Apple iTunes App Store or the Google Play store. 

Please note we strongly recommend you “accept notifications from this app” when you open it and join an auction. This will allow you to get push notifications for “Outbid” messages during the event.

STEP 2: REGISTER

Next, create an account. From the app home screen, tap on “GET STARTED” button and complete the information (please use your cell phone number – this is important as this is the number your notifications will be sent to). Tap NEXT and Handbid will text you a 5 digit code. Enter this code to login. 

Once you are logged in, select Waterfall Arts 2022 from the list of auctions and START BIDDING!

STEP 3: START BIDDING

Whether you are bidding online or in the Handbid app, here are some easy tips to help:

• MAX BID:  This is the maximum amount you are willing to spend for an item and the Handbid system will automatically bid for you until you reach your max. Set a max bid and enjoy your evening!
• NOTIFICATIONS: If you have downloaded the Handbid app and accepted push notifications, you will be notified when you are outbid on an item. If you don’t accept push notifications, you will receive text messages from Handbid.
• DASHBOARD: Monitor what you are currently winning and losing on the dashboard screen in your app or online.
