Transform Lives with Every Donation: Join the CU4Kids Diamond Roundup Auction and Make a Difference for Children!

Posted by Alyse Knudsen on September 12, 2024

The CU4Kids Diamond Roundup Benefit Auction is just a month away! No matter If you are joining us for a night of rootin’ tootin’ hijinks on Tuesday, Oct. 15 or if you’re hunkered down at home, there are lots of ways to get in on the fundraising action for the Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals. 

The annual fundraiser is shaping up to be the best in the West! Last year, thanks to the generosity of our attendees and supporters, $1.2 million was raised for Children’s Miracle Network (CMN) Hospitals across the GoWest region. This year, we are shootin’ to surpass that amount and make an even greater impact of childrens’ and their families’ lives. 

Coming to MAXX 

Get your diamond-studded duds dusted off because this year’s CU4Kids Diamond Roundup Benefit Auction is going to be an event to remember! This “Glam Rodeo” themed extravaganza, inspired by the spirit of Dolly Parton and the Rhinestone Cowboy, will be held Tuesday evening at the Gaylord Rockies. 

During the evening, guests will have the opportunity to participate in a live auction for Radio Flyer Hero Wagons for CMN Hospitals, bid on state packages and a bounty of other spectacular items during the online auction, use their phones for Text to Give, and participate in the exciting Paddle Raise, which brings out the generosity of everyone in the room.

Online Auction 

This year’s online auction includes a wide variety of items from sports memorabilia to travel packages, event tickets, and more. 

There are also six state packages to bid on that have been generously donated by GoWest credit unions and sponsors. The state package includes unique items and experiences that represent each of GoWest’s states – Arizona, Colorado, Wyoming, Idaho, Washington, and Oregon. These are perfect for anyone who wants to get out and explore their own state – or a new one! 

Once bidding starts, when you make an online bid, you will be alerted on your mobile device when you have been outbid, so you can instantly respond with another bid. All items will be shipped directly to the winning bidder following MAXX – making it easy to bid from anywhere. 

Registered MAXX attendees will receive a personalized email in the coming weeks with more details about the online auction along with a link to get started bidding!

Can’t Be There in Person? 

Just because you aren’t at Diamond Roundup in person doesn’t mean you can be part of the evening’s excitement and “raise your paddle” for CU4Kids. Text to Give and the online donations give supporters from across the country the chance to make a difference in the lives of children at CMN Hospitals.

Text to Give 

If you’re unable to attend the CU4Kids Diamond Roundup but still want to make a meaningful impact, you can donate easily through Text to Give. Simply text CU4KIDS24 to 366283 to contribute.

Online Donations

Every donation, big or small, brings us closer to supporting our 11 regional Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals. All donations and auction proceeds are included in the auction’s total, which will be announced on the MAXX main stage on Oct. 16. 

Together – in-person and from afar – we can make a lasting difference in the lives of children who need it most!
