UrbanFUTURE is hosting a charity auction with an NCAA basketball tournament theme. 

Our auction emcee will be Frank Cusumano from the KSDK Sports Team.

Rather than a traditional charity auction where prizes are auctioned off, UF will be auctioning off the actual tournament teams. 

• 64 teams will be auctioned off.  10 teams will be distributed via live auction, while the remainder will be awarded via silent auction. 
• Silent auction begins at 6:00.  Sections of the silent auction will close at 7:30, 7:40, and 7:50.  Live auction begins at 8:00.
• Most teams will be accompanied with a prize, in which case the high bidder will own the team AND take home the prize at the end of the night, similar to a typical silent auction. 
• A few teams will NOT be accompanied with an item.  In this case you are only bidding on the team.

There are 20 Performance Prizes for the owners of the teams that advance to the Sweet Sixteen.  The owners of the teams that advance to the Final Four win two Performance Prizes.  All other Sweet Sixteen owners win one Performance Prize.  Performance Prizes range in value from $250 to $1,000+ each.  Some of them are listed below.
