How to record cash withdrawals in QB 2019

Have a question. I am by no means an accountant and this is certainly not my strong suite but here goes. Our organization (non-profit) held an event where we received and made deposits to our checking account. however in order to cover our silent auction we withdrew cash from the account over the counter at the bank. Question is how do we record this transaction in QB? I looked at some QB videos stating to create a cash bank account or petty cash and use that. Ex. $900 was deposited in the account then $300 was withdrawn. How is this recorded? Any assistance is appreciated!
