The Auction donation deadline of December 1st is early enough to ensure the committee has time to sort items for maximum sales potential. Having a variety of items donated to the auction guarantees that there will be something for everyone. In light of the current times, we ask that you continue to be sensitive to local businesses. Purchase items instead of asking for donations. The procurement committee will be asking select businesses for donations.
Each family has agreed to donate and/or procure item(s) of $225 in value. You can fulfill this commitment by contributing in one of the following ways:
- Get creative: love to bake, arrange flowers, garden, etc. Share your passion or skills with others.
