University Liggett School offers at home bidding for Liggett Knight auction items

The ballroom at the Grosse Pointe Yacht Club is set to come alive as University Liggett School gears up for its annual Liggett Knight Gala and Auction. Scheduled for Friday, April 19th at the Yacht Club, this highly anticipated event promises an evening of generosity, and community spirit; and this year those who are not in attendance at the event can bid on exciting silent auction items from home.

Cressie Boggs, Director of Development and Alumni Relations, expressed her excitement for this year's gala, "We strive to make each Liggett Knight unique and memorable, and this year is no exception."

The silent auction features almost 200 items in categories ranging from autographed memorabilia to culinary delights, health and beauty, and travel excursions. Anyone with a bidder number can participate in the silent auction, whether at Liggett Knight or comfortably at home the night of the gala event.

"The Liggett Knight committee worked hard to secure great silent auction items this year. And our community is generous with their donations; it's incredibly exciting,” Boggs said.

Up for grabs during this year’s silent auction are, signed Detroit Red Wings jerseys from Lucas Raymond and Michael Rasmussen, a Spencer Torkelson signed baseball bat, a hockey stick signed by Moritz Seider, a Detroit Grand Prix weekend experience, four tickets to the Kenny Chesney and Zac Brown Band tour date at Ford Field on August 10, a five night stay at the Island Vista Resort in Myrtle Beach, SC, and more! Visit LiggettKnight.cbo.io to preview all of the exciting auction items.

“We would like to express our thanks to our Liggett Knight co-chairs, Alda & Daniel Stahl ‘01, and to all of our volunteers who have worked so hard to make Liggett Knight successful this year,” Boggs said. “We are also grateful for our donors and sponsors, whose generosity, we know will make Liggett Knight 2024 an exceptionally rewarding event.”

Anyone is welcome to participate in the silent auction from the comfort of home. Visit LiggettKnight.cbo.io to set up your bidder number. Silent auction bidding opens Thursday, April 18 at noon. Bidding for the silent auction closes at 10 p.m. on Friday, April 19. All won items will be available for pick-up at University Liggett School on Monday, April 22 from 2 - 4 p.m.
