Join us on Saturday, November 8th from 6-9pm for the 2025 Bid Your Bark Out fundraising event.

Check-in begins at 5:15pm

Bid Virtually on Auction Items Now!

Presented by:

Virtual bidding is open to everyone - for physical items, must pick up in Columbus or pay for shipping.

Dinner & Drinks

Dinner and a complimentary drink ticket are included with every event ticket.

This year, attendees can enjoy a variety of appetizers, pastas, and desserts.

Bartenders will be serving beer, wine, liquor, and non-alcoholic beverages throughout the event.

Silent Auction

During the event, attendees can bid on gift baskets and other items through the silent auction. Check out last year’s items!

Local businesses, STS supporters, and our volunteer group donate baskets and items. These silent auction items vary in themes and value, ensuring everyone will be able to find a basket they would enjoy.

Live Auction

The excitement of the live auction is back for 2025! Bill Schiffman will auction off a variety of items in a fun, high-energy environment.

Last year’s items included two beach vacation rentals, OSU vs. Michigan football tickets, Memorial Tournament tickets, and a handcrafted cutting board.

Wine Pull

A crowd pleaser! Attendees can participate in a “wine pull”. For every entry purchased, participants will blindly pull a bottle of wine wrapped in unmarked packaging, preventing them from knowing what they’re pulling! The type and value of wine they end up with is a fun surprise.

Purchase Tickets

Celebrity Host

We are thrilled to announce our celebrity guest host - Kurt Ludlow! Kurt is one of the most respected and recognizable newscasters in Central Ohio as part of the ABC 6/FOX 28 team.

You can catch him anchoring Good Day Columbus on weekday mornings as well as every Friday for Furever Friday!

All proceeds will assist Stop the Suffering in helping to sponsor, transport, and adopt thousands of rural shelter dogs and cats.
