Thank you for your interest in supporting our mission by joining The Children's Council online Tailgate Auction! Our littlest learners are our smartest investment! Let's show Watauga County how much we care about families and children!

UPDATE: In the midst of the devastation of Hurricane Helene, an auction is not at the forefront of our minds. In light of this, our online auction will continue through 10/31/24. However, anyone who is a high bidder at the end of the auction but is no longer able to fulfill their bid due to *the effects of the storm will be offered an opt-out.***
