True Life Youth Ministries invites the community to join the excitement at the annual Bids 4 Kids Auction, happening Friday, March 14, and Saturday, March 15, 2025, at the Lebanon Expo Center. This two-day event blends great deals on auction items with the chance to support an even greater cause—helping Lebanon City youth grow through mentoring, educational programs, and faith-based experiences.
Great deals all weekend long
The auction will feature furniture, bicycles, tools, antiques, lawn & garden equipment, themed gift baskets, and more. Sports fans will want to check out the highly anticipated sports memorabilia auction, featuring framed, autographed jerseys from Jalen Hurts and Saquon Barkley.
Even greater cause
Every winning bid, every pancake served, and every chicken BBQ meal purchased helps fund True Life Youth Ministries’ work with Lebanon City youth, providing safe spaces, mentorship, educational support, and opportunities to discover their True Life in Christ.
Saturday morning highlights
Start your Saturday at the auction with the All You Can Eat Pancake Breakfast from 7:30 AM to 10:00 AM, where kids under 10 eat free! After breakfast, families can enjoy face painting, balloon creations, a corn pit, and the Kids-Only Auction—giving children a chance to bid on fun items just for them.
Don’t miss the famous Chicken BBQ
The event wouldn’t be complete without the famous Randall’s Chicken BBQ, with over 1,500 half-chickens sold each year. Pre-orders are recommended, but limited quantities will be available for walk-up purchases during the auction.
“Bids 4 Kids is about more than raising funds—it’s about bringing our community together to make a lasting difference for youth in Lebanon,” says Paul Lane, Executive Director of True Life Youth Ministries. “Every bid, every pancake, and every BBQ helps us provide experiences and relationships that point kids toward their God-given purpose.”
