Locate the Cash Donation item - You should see a live **thermometer** with your progress toward the goal ![](https://support.cbo.io/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jun-16-2025-06-45-45-5364-PM.png?width=409&height=321&name=image-png-Jun-16-2025-06-45-45-5364-PM.png) If you don’t see the thermometer, double-check that the item has a **Goal** set and that **Show Totals on Bid Site** is toggled to **Yes**. --- #### **🛑 Need to Hide It?** To remove the thermometer, repeat the steps above and change **Show Totals on Bid Site** back to **No**. -
