What is the best way to view the Virtual Event presentation?
The best way to view the event is on a smart TV. Search SCOTTY Fund on Youtube, (I simply say: "Youtube SCOTTY Fund" into my voice remote). This will take you to The SCOTTY Fund Youtube channel. Starting at 7:30 you will have access to the video. If you login early you may need to "refresh" your TV/Computer at 7:30 to see the link. It's OK to be a few minutes late.... the video will start from the beginning at the time you login.

The Gala presentation will be a fun, inspirational, and entertaining experience that will last approximately 35-45 minutes. When the presentation ends you will have plenty of time to get your final bids in!
What is the best way to view the Event/Gala AND bid at the same time?
Watch the Gala on your Smart TV (as stated above) for the best experience, and keep your phone nearby to bid on items! You will receive text messages when you are outbid. Just tap to increase your bid and keep watching the presentation!
