Hillcrest Rams cross country and track teams announce annual holiday online auction
November 4, 2026
In an effort to support student-athletes and fund upcoming competitive seasons, the Hillcrest High School Cross Country and Track & Field teams have announced their upcoming Online Auction Fundraiser, running from Nov. 25 through Dec. 1, 2026.
The week-long virtual event will officially open for bidding on Wednesday, Nov. 25, at 6:00 a.m. EST and conclude Tuesday, Dec. 1, at 6:00 p.m. EST. Because the platform is entirely digital, supporters, alumni, and community members can participate and place bids from anywhere across the United States.
High-Value Bids and Holiday Shopping Opportunities
This year’s auction catalog includes an array of exclusive experiences, travel getaways, technology packages, and curated gift baskets.
Among the standout headliners is a coveted graduation package featuring graduation box tickets paired with VIP parking at the Bon Secours Wellness Arena in downtown Greenville—an opportunity expected to draw significant interest from local senior families.
