Come join us ONLINE for our 24th Annual Auction
In lieu of the Covid pandemic, hosting the live event at a local venue is not an option right now. We've decided, in an effort to still be a support to the West Sayville Christian School, that we would host the auction online. Click here to view our Auction Website. The auction will take place from Saturday, May 8th beginning at 12:00 noon through Friday, May 14th ending at 9:00p. |
For more information, email auction@wscs.org or phone the school office at 631-589-2180.
This year we are trying out the auction website www.betterworld.org whose mission is to provide non-profits like our school, the ability to host fundraising events with little to no costs to the non-profits. One of the ways that www.betterworld.org receives funds is by asking bidders to consider supporting or “tipping” Betterworld.org that is up to the bidder.

***Really want an item but don’t want to keep track of all your bids? You can put in a Max Bid on the Item Page- When you set a max bid, bids will automatically be placed on your behalf to outbid new bidders up to your max bid amount. ***
***Another way that you can help the school is also by choosing to cover the credit card processing fees. Better World charges a standard card processing fee of around 3% on each transaction through their payment service provider, Stripe. By covering this fee, you allow the WSCS to receive the full value of your bids. Please note this option will not be available if you create your account when you click on the bid, as to why we suggest you create your account ahead of time***
*** On this page you will also be asked if you would like to help cover fundraising costs for this organization. This is a donation to better world.org themselves as this is a free auction website. This donation is an addition to your bid for the auction item and not part of WSCS. This is not required. To change it click on the “?” circled in red***
