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 during 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 silent auction, guests will have the opportunity to purchase custom wine bottles. Exclusive to this year's Rock Chalk Ball, each bottle of Three Wine Red Zinfandel features the full-color 1912 Jayhawk and the Rock Chalk Ball logo. The limited collection is numbered 1-60; the cost is $200.
