Going, Growing, Gone: A Virtual Auction Connecting Hope to Help

The excitement is building at The Suda Institute as we prepare to launch our 2026 virtual auction, Going, Growing, Gone: A Virtual Auction Connecting Hope to Help, taking place May 21–31, 2026!

This exciting online event brings together community members, local businesses, supporters, and donors for an opportunity to bid on incredible items and experiences while directly supporting families impacted by Perinatal Substance Use Disorder (PSUD).

Every dollar raised through the auction helps support The Suda Institute’s mission to expand access to compassionate, coordinated care for pregnant and parenting individuals and their families throughout our region. Funds raised will help support continued growth of the SUN Clinic model, outreach efforts, staffing, equipment needs, and the development of additional satellite locations in rural communities.

Featured Auction Items

This year’s auction includes a wide variety of exciting items and experiences, including:

All-inclusive vacation getaways
A NASCAR driving experience for thrill seekers
A private in-home chef experience
Family photography sessions
Charlotte-area sports memorabilia and experiences
Theater and entertainment tickets
Handcrafted local items including pottery, quilts, and local honey
Vacation experiences in destinations like Kissimmee, Charleston, Wyoming and more!

Whether you are looking for a weekend getaway, a unique gift, a family experience, or something special for yourself, there truly is something for everyone.

Why Your Support Matters

Across North Carolina, many families affected by PSUD face significant barriers to care, especially in rural communities where services may be limited or far from home. The Suda Institute works collaboratively with healthcare providers, community organizations, and local leaders to help bridge those gaps and ensure families can access support close to home.

By participating in the auction, you are helping us continue that work and invest in healthier futures for children and families across our communities.
