    💌 Proxy Winners (for Live & Online or Silent & Online Categories)

    If the item you bid on is listed in a Live & Online or Silent & Online category, here’s how proxy bidding works:

    • The online auction closes November 20 at 12:00 PM CST.

    • At that time, the highest online bid becomes the starting bid for the Bow Wow Gala on November 22, 2025.

    • Once the online auction closes, we’ll contact you to confirm whether you’d like to appoint a volunteer to act as your proxy bidder at the Gala.

    • Your proxy will bid on your behalf — up to your chosen limit — so you can stay in the game even if you can’t attend in person!

    If your proxy wins the item:

    • You’ll receive an invoice for the total amount due after the Gala.

    • Once payment is received, we’ll help arrange shipping, delivery, or local pick-up, depending on your location.

    • Please note that proxy winners located outside of Puerto Vallarta may need to cover an additional shipping fee for physical items.
