To help make Black Tie & Blue Jeans as fun (and smooth!) as possible, we ask all guests to download and set up the Givi app before arriving at the event.
Why? Because Givi is how you’ll bid on our Silent Auction—and trust us, you won’t want to miss it.
Downloading the app ahead of time means:
Less waiting and fewer tech hiccups
More time enjoying cocktails, music, and the dance floor
Easy, mobile bidding all night long
If the app isn’t downloaded, you won’t be able to place bids, so a few minutes of prep goes a long way toward a great evening.
Why We Use Givi (and Why That Matters)
We chose the Givi platform intentionally. Unlike many auction platforms that cost thousands of dollars, Givi allows us to:
Subscribe only for the three months we need
Keep costs low
Put more dollars directly into programs that support students and educators
It’s one of the many ways we work to be good stewards of donor support—making sure your generosity goes where it matters most.
Pro Tip
Download the app, create your account, and add your payment info before the event so you’re ready to bid the moment the auction opens (online one week early!). If you want to receive outbid notices, check all three Notification Preferences--Email, Text, Givi.
Thank you for helping us create a night that’s more fun, less chaotic, and focused on what matters most—supporting students and encouraging educators.
