\"\"Jamestown\u00a0 (uj.edu)\u00a0 The University of Jamestown\u2019s 34th<\/sup> Annual Dine and Bid, which will be held virtually this year, began on On Monday, May 25, with the auction will open for bids, and will remain open throughout the week.<\/p>\n

A live stream of the event, themed Rock and Roll All Knight, will run from 6:30 p.m. until 8 p.m. on Saturday, May 30. Everyone is invited to register and participate, at no cost, by visiting one.bidpal.net\/dineandbid2020\/welcome or texting dineandbid2020<\/a> to 243725.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cAlthough we will miss hosting this event in person, we are excited to use a new format that makes Dine and Bid completely open and accessible to our alumni\u2014both near and far\u2014as well as to the community,\u201d explained Setareh Campion, Director of Alumni Relations.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

One hundred twenty-five items are up for auction this year, ranging from entertainment and experiences to home d\u00e9cor and fun for the kids. Featured items include a one-week stay at a luxury home in Belize, AirPod Pros, a one-year movie pass for two to the Bison 6 Cinema, and a Savage hunting rifle.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve been working on making the live portion of this event as interactive as possible,\u201d explained Vice President of Development and Alumni Relations Brett Moser. \u201cWe encourage everyone to stay safe and follow social distancing guidelines by tuning in with their family or by hosting a small watch party at home.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cWe have a lot of fun events planned that we\u2019re hoping will help rebuild a sense of community during these unprecedented times,\u201d commented Campion. \u201cTwo events we\u2019re really excited about are Rock and Roll Trivia and Raise Your Paddle. We will be asking trivia questions, and participants can submit their answers live. Like previous years, we will once again have a Raise Your Paddle event, where we ask attendees to contribute to student scholarships. It\u2019s always one of the most uplifting parts of the night, and we\u2019re looking forward to watching those generous contributions roll in live.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The University wants to help make sure everyone feels included by video conferencing into live watch parties and assisting anyone who is not comfortable with technology. \u201cI\u2019m happy to walk individuals through the process of registering,\u201d explained Campion. \u201cWe can even manually enter bids and donations.\u201d For assistance, Campion can be reached at 701-252-3467 ext. 4104 or Setareh.Campion@uj.edu.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cWe know having the event virtually this year will be different. Every year, it pays a key role as a social occasion for friends and alumni of the University,\u201d said Moser. \u201cBut, we feel confident it will still play that role in bringing people together to support our students, just from afar.\u201d<\/p>\n
