Description

Our second online auction and Gala was a huge success raising over $45,000.  The online portion of the event was thru Bidding for Good and we received donations from 50 states and bidders from 35 states. We got amazing national coverage and promoted donors and sponsors on our website, thru social media posts, email blasts, Bidding for Good nationwide community and in the Gala Program.  The Gala was sold out with over 160 people attending.  Corporate sponsors received tickets with their sponsorship and almost all of the sponsors used their tickets and attended.  Our sponsors included UPMC, Thrivent, Merrill Lynch, and Invariant Financial along with others.

On 5/2/2025 we will hold our third annual Gala celebrating our 40th year in business which again will include an online auction starting April 12th.  The Gala will be the conclusion of our event and include food, entertainment and a silent and LIVE auction, and a raffle.  Donors and sponsors will receive promotions thru email blasts, social media, event programs, and CATRA website.  We also hold a post Gala online auction because of late donation arrivals and opportunties received during the gala.
