Silent Auction

Every Saturday and Sunday home game (and select weekday games), the A's Community Fund hosts a silent auction featuring both signed and unsigned A's memorabilia as well as game-used items. The silent auction is located in the A's Fan Center behind section 120 and ends with the last out in the bottom of the 5th inning.

This season, various charity groups received a portion of the more than $50,000 raised as silent auction partners.

Proceeds from the auction benefit the A's Community Fund and various other local charities. Purchased items are tax deductible.
