Tonight’s the night! We’re so excited to celebrate Public Interest work with our community. Whether you’re looking to pick up your bar prep class at a steep discount, grab some gift cards to local favorites, treat yourself to a luxury retail product, win the chance to have your favorite professor treat you to dinner, or you just like the idea of a nice deal on a restaurant meal with some friends on a Monday night, the PILF auction is the place for you.
Due to an issue with the ticketing link over the weekend, we will be honoring the $12 pre-purchase price at the door all night, upon request. The event is at Back Porch Brewing (133 N. Hanover street) and starts at 6pm. Here’s what you need to know:
- Your ticket gets you unlimited access to back porch brewing’s food menu, on us. Anything you like.
- You’ll also be able to order their craft beers, or drinks from their full bar, with a percentage of sales donated to PILF’s fellowship fund.
- Attire is casual— whatever you’d wear to meet a friend for a Monday night bite.
- The silent auction begins at 6pm and closes just before 8pm, so feel free to arrive whenever suits you in that window.
- Just after 8, we’ll begin our live auction. We highly encourage you to group up with friends to plan to bid on these experiences, which all allow for multiple students to attend.
- This year’s live auction items are:
- Full bar prep courses from Quimbee and Kaplan.

- Professor Evans: Lifetime access to her flagship course “From Cash to Crypto” and a signed copy of her book, Digital Money Demystified (this combo valued at over $1000!)
- This year’s silent auction items are too numerous to list, but in addition to our traditional gift cards and goods from local businesses, and collection of Dickinson law swag bags, we’ve also got tours to local wineries, a huge collection of massage therapy offerings, bar prep course discounts, puzzles and games, an iPad, a Dyson air wrap, and a bunch of other goodies!
