Highlights from Sockeye’s 4th Annual “Sock-Eye on the Prize” Charity Auction

The fourth annual “Sock-Eye on the Prize” charity auction was held recently at Sockeye. This included a live-auction portion that included Sockeye Swag Store credit, a day off work, lunch with an executive, smoked salmon trio, and more! Following the live auction, we opened bidding on 45 silent auction items. Most of the items auctioned off were donated by our employees, plus a few supplemental items from Sockeye.

One of the team’s favorite items has always been the “Team Member Catch of the Day.” This creative auction item allows the winning bidder to select a fellow Sockeye Team Member, and that person will receive lunch, surprise gifts, and special acknowledgements in the “Fish Pond” (our company chat). There was a little of something for everyone – kids items, house décor, electronics, gift cards – most of them being sold for more than the item's value.

Team members had the opportunity to select a charity of their choice to receive donations, resulting in contributions to 22 different charities. This year, we raised $3,066.71, bringing our total donations over the past four years to $12,648.70.

Thank you to all Sockeye team members - from the charity organizers to donors and bidders. What an honor to work alongside such giving people.
