Powered by 501 Auctions, the online auction will be open for 10 days surrounding the event and will be open to everyone, whether they are ticket holders or not, beginning at 12:00 p.m. on Friday, May 17 at greenwichtownparty.org. This will enable more people and businesses to participate and donate, bringing the whole community together for this celebration. The online auction will end the day after the GTP, on Sunday, May 26 at 6 p.m. Donated items are still being accepted in all categories on the GTP website.

Each year, substantial donations from town residents and local businesses provide the majority of Party funding. Thanks to the continued generosity of sponsors and donors, the general admission ticket prices have been reduced to a fraction of what they would be for such a large event. There will be a GTP Donation Tent on-site during the Party, and organizers encourage all attendees to donate something to keep the GTP sustainable for years to come. All donations, regardless of the amount, will be matched by an anonymous generous benefactor. For Neighbor passes and sponsorship opportunities, please visit: greenwichtownparty.org.

All donors can be found on greenwichtownparty.org/auction-donors. The Greenwich Town Party encourages the community to show appreciation to these local businesses for their support.
