Rock Chalk Ball
Auction
Bidders, take your mark! One of the most exciting and anticipated components of every Rock Chalk Ball, the auction raises money for KU Alumni Association programs. Attendees bid on silent auction items during the cocktail hour, and the live auction takes place after dinner. With more than 150 unique items to choose from, auction merchandise is divided into six categories (listed at the bottom of this page).
During the auction, attendees will have the chance to bid on 12 specially etched, hand-painted bottles of Reserve Merlot, exclusive to this year's Rock Chalk Ball. This is the first time the Jayhawk has appeared on a wine bottle--don't miss the opportunity to own one of the limited-edition, numbered pieces (1-12). Donated by Jim, m'93, and Carrie Booe Mandigo, d'90, n'91.
Auction previews will be updated regularly. Please check back for additional items.
