Make Your Bid to Support Spoleto Festival USA!
Spoleto will celebrate its 30th anniversary—accessorized by pearls, per tradition—at this year's La Dolce Vita auction, on January 29 at Memminger Auditorium. Proceeds of the event will benefit the Spoleto Festival USA Orchestra. Now is your chance to not only get all the great items you want, but to do it knowing you are helping support our organization and mission.
The Spoleto Festival USA Orchestra is an ongoing, nationally recognized educational program providing professional training and performance opportunities for hundreds of gifted young musicians at the college level and higher, who are selected from extensive auditions held each year in cities throughout the United States. The 2009 orchestra members hailed from across the globe, from South Carolina, Hungary and China to New Zealand, Venezuela and California, and alumni can be found in almost every professional orchestra in the U.S.
For 17 days and nights each spring, Spoleto Festival USA fills Charleston, South Carolina's historic theaters, churches and outdoor spaces with over 120 performances by renowned artists as well as emerging performers in disciplines ranging from opera, theater, music theater, and dance to chamber, symphonic, choral, and jazz music. The 2010 Spoleto Festival USA will be held May 28–June 13. For more information, visit www.spoletousa.org.

Get ready to bid!
One of the best things about participating is that you get what you give. All you have to do is bid! From fabulous dining experiences to once-in-a-lifetime getaways, this is the place to get in on all the auction action!
Use this site to fill out an absentee bid. Here's how it works: online bidders may place virtual, maximum bids on items. The absentee bidder may or may not be present at the future live event; a member of our auction team will be a stand-in, designated to bid up to—but not exceed—the Absentee Bidder's Maximum online bid. Absentee bidding allows online bidders the opportunity to bid on items and support a great cause, even though they may not be able to attend the Live Event.
Online bidders who win a package are responsible for paying any shipping costs.
