2012 Silent Auction for SPAN

Silent Auction and Holiday Party on Friday, December 14 from 7:00 to 9:00 pm

Bring your friends and family, and raise money for a great cause!

 

The Silent Auction runs October 27 - December 14, 2012

Final bids will be taken at the Jing Ying Holiday Party on December 14, 2012 (bidding ends at 8:30 pm).

It's still not too late to make donations. Not only will you help a great charity, you can also promote your business. We leave links up for each year's donors so you get long term visibility on our web site and our Facebook Event page. As soon as you make a donation, it will be put on display; so the sooner you donate, the longer our students and guests will be able to view your donation. We welcome your business cards and/or literature to make available to students/bidders.

Proceeds benefit the Serving People Across Neighborhoods (SPAN), a local organization that provides emergency food and financial services to families. The three main areas of assistance they provide are: prevention of evictions, prevention of utility disruption, and meeting medical or prescription needs.

A big thank you to our generous donors! We'll update listings and links to our donors as we get more information and more items.

A container is set up near the silent auction area where you can donate canned goods for SPAN's food pantry. For every can you donate, you will receive an entry into our door prize drawing.
