Online Auction 2026

Fund Our 2027 Trips: Annual Virtual Auction

Our Annual Virtual Auction is back, and every bid helps create something truly meaningful for a family who has experienced the loss of a parent.

Cathie’s Magical Memories provides Disney vacations for children who have lost a parent and their families, giving them time away from the weight of grief to reconnect, experience joy, and create new memories together.

Since founding our organization, we have had the privilege of serving two families, and we are now raising funds to help send more families on magical trips in 2027.

Bidding Opens October 19

Bidding begins Monday, October 19, 2026 at 12:00 AM EDT. Givebutter

Our online auction will feature a variety of donated items, gift cards, experiences, products, and special packages generously provided by businesses and supporters who believe in our mission.

Whether you place a bid, share the auction with friends and family, or simply help us spread the word, you are helping us get one step closer to creating another magical memory for a grieving family.

Why Your Bid Matters

Our auction is one of the biggest ways we raise funds for future family trips, which is why your bids become more than a fundraising total. They become plane tickets, hotel stays, park days, family meals, laughter, togetherness, and moments a family can carry with them long after the trip ends.

Most recently, our supporters helped us provide a Disney vacation for a four-year-old girl who lost her father. Experiences like hers are exactly why we continue this work.

How to Participate

Bidding takes place completely online, so you can participate from wherever you are.

Visit our auction page, browse the available items, register to bid, and keep an eye on your favorites once bidding begins.

Bidding opens October 19 at midnight.

Every new person who discovers our mission gives us another opportunity to reach more families, build our community, and fund future trips.

Thank you to every business that donated, every supporter who shares our auction, and every person who places a bid. Together, we can give more children and families something joyful to look forward to — and help them create magical memories that last a lifetime.
