Silent Auction and Carnival
Ways to Get Involved
It’s time once again for Akron Fossils & Science Center’s annual Silent Auction and Carnival Fundraiser! This benefit is our single largest fundraising event of the year. Because of the generous support from families and businesses like yours, Akron Fossils continues to be a staple in the Akron community, providing fun and meaningful educational opportunities.
Bidding for our Online Silent Auction begins on Saturday, September 27th and runs through Friday, October 3rd. All week long you have the opportunity to bid on fantastic items online. Pick-up your winning bids at our in-person Family Carnival on Saturday, October 4th from 12pm to 5pm at Akron Fossils and Science Center. Even if you don’t bid on or win an auction item, join us at the carnival for food, games, prizes, raffles, fun and more.
