Celebration of Youth

Funds raised from Celebration of Youth support Ohio 4-H programming and operations.

If you're unable to attend, you can still participate in the silent auction. The auction will open on Friday, September 30, and will close Thursday, October 6 at 7 p.m.

You can donate to support the Celebration of Youth event.

We will also have a special ask this year to support youth to inspire curiosity, build lifelong skills, fuel adventure, and grow true leaders. Please join us by donating to sponsor a youth to attend one of our many leadership trip opportunities such as, but not limited to, National 4-H Conference, Healthy Living Summit, True Leaders in Equity National Summit, Citizenship Washington Focus or the National AgriScience Summit.

Need assistance?

If you need additional help with bidding on auction items, please call the Ohio 4-H Foundation at 614-292-6943 for assistance.

If you are attending the event on Oct. 6 and need assistance, there will be staff on hand with iPads to help with bidding.

Auction Item Redemption Information

After the auction closes on Oct. 6 at 7 p.m., all winners will be notified by text that they have won an item. If the item winner is attending the event in person, they will be able to pick up their item(s) that evening. Payment can be made by check or credit card at checkout.

For those participating virtually in the auction, a link will be sent to auction item winners for credit card payment on Friday, October 7. Item redemption will be arranged after payment has been received. Item redemption will be agreed upon between the Ohio 4-H Foundation and the item winner. Options will include shipping, drop-off (location dependent), and pick-up at the Nationwide and Ohio Farm Bureau 4-H Center.
