Here’s how it works, follow these steps to get registered to bid:
- Create a login at the Zachys website by clicking above. On June 4, 2020 at 10:00 am EST onwards login and watch the gavel fall.
- Click here to download the auction catalog. There are numerous wine lots, but purchase of those will NOT benefit LCF. ONLY the KY Derby lot.
- How it will work is, once you’ve won the lot, you’ll make the payment directly to the organization so that you can take advantage of the tax deduction. Call 859.388.2620 or email, info@lexingtonfoundation.org.
- Absentee portion of this auction is open for bidding. The first session will start live bidding on June 4, 2020 at 10:00 am.
Thank you as always for your generous support of LCF. We are grateful to be selected as a charity for this auction. Bid high, cancer does not stop during these unprecedented times!
Stay safe,
Brenda Rice, President
