2024 Online Auction

Join us for a great time while supporting the James A. Cook Humanitarian Relief Fund which directly benefits current and retired Florida Park Service staff. The Arnold Kuenzler and Family Annual Auction, a long-standing tradition of the Florida Park Service Ranger Association, honors a Florida Park Service family who diligently supported the auction for many years with their hand-crafted creations.

The auction features an assortment of new, handmade, and collectible items. Some items are deals, some are steals, and some you just HAVE TO HAVE! No matter the amount you pay, it all goes to a great cause. 100% of the proceeds go to the James A. Cook Humanitarian Relief Fund which supports current and retired FPS staff experiencing financial hardship.

If you can’t be at the auction in person, this is the next best thing!

NOTE: Auction starts at 3:00 pm Eastern Time / 2:00 pm Central Time.

Online Auction Rules

1. Advance registration is required – Once registration is completed, bidders will receive a confirming email with the Zoom login information. Bidders are not obligated to bid, though we hope they do!
2. Bidding takes place via Zoom - This requires both an audio and video connection on a computer, tablet, or phone.
3. Successful auction bids must be paid online – An invoice will be sent to each successful bidder following the end of the auction. Registrants agree to pay the invoice within 60 minutes of receiving it.
4. Successful bidders are responsible for getting their auction items. Transportation of items might be arranged with someone who is attending the live auction and could bring them to you. Successful bidders agree to pay additional costs for shipping unless alternative arrangements are made. Shipping costs are unknown until the item is packaged and taken to USPS.
5. Have fun and enjoy the auction!

NOTE: This is our second live online auction being held during the live in-person auction. As with any technology, there can be glitches. We ask online bidders to log in 15 minutes early to ensure their connection is working properly. Likewise, we ask for your patience if we have any technical issues.
