A message from the auction chairs Bill & Karyn Kearney P'20:
As the auction chairs, we hope you will consider supporting the school with a donation or sponsorship. We are seeking items for the live and silent portions of the auction.
Auction items which have been successful over the years, include vacation homes, tickets to sporting events with exclusive field access, signed swag from sports teams, jewelry, tickets to popular Broadway shows, wine tastings or dinners in unique locations, tickets to festivals or other entertainment events, and other unique experiences.

- If you have access to a home or unique experience for a weekend, please consider donating. We hope to offer packages in places like San Francisco/Napa, New York, Jackson Hole, Sea Island, and other major cities or resorts.
- You can also donate a bottle of wine: Donate a $30 (or more) bottle of wine to the always spirited “Wine Pull.” During the Wine Pull, auction attendees purchase tickets to "pull" a bottle from the collection. All of the bottles are wrapped with their labels hidden, so you don't know what you'll get! We are seeking 100 bottles total for the auction. You can either drop off your wine donation with Mrs. Murphy OR simply email or call Lynn Spurling at 828-606-6600 at Table Wine. Table Wine will select, wrap, and deliver all donations directly to Biltmore Forest Country Club. Table Wine will select, wrap, and deliver all donations directly to Biltmore Forest Country Club.
