South Baldwin Chamber Foundation Launches 2026 Kickoff to Summer Online Auction to Benefit Local Students

Community Invited to Bid Online June 8–21 in Support of Educational Enrichment and Workforce Development Programs

The South Baldwin Chamber Foundation (SBCF) is kicking off the summer season with the return of one of its most anticipated online fundraisers — the 2026 Kickoff to Summer Online Auction. Beginning June 8 and continuing through June 21, the virtual auction will offer supporters across the community the opportunity to bid on a wide variety of donated items and experiences while helping invest in the future of local students.

Hosted through EVENT.GIVES, this year’s auction features more than 50 items donated by generous local businesses, organizations, and community supporters throughout Baldwin County. Participants can browse and bid directly from their computer or mobile device, making it easy and convenient to join the fun from anywhere.

Auction items include local dining experiences, gift baskets, entertainment packages, unique gifts, family activities, and more — all while supporting the mission of the South Baldwin Chamber Foundation.

All proceeds from the auction directly benefit SBCF programs and initiatives that serve students across South Baldwin, including Junior Ambassadors, the EPIC Program (Entrepreneur Program Impacting Communities), classroom and educational grants, leadership development opportunities, and additional educational enrichment efforts supporting 14 local schools throughout the Foley and Elberta feeder patterns.

“We’re excited to bring this fundraiser back for another summer and continue building support for the students and schools we serve,” said Kylee Raulerson, Executive Director of the South Baldwin Chamber Foundation. “Every bid placed during this auction helps create opportunities for leadership development, entrepreneurship education, and educational enrichment right here in our community.”

The auction officially opens for bidding on Monday, June 8, and closes at 5:00 p.m. on Sunday, June 21.

Community members are encouraged to preview items, register early, and invite friends and family to participate.
