What a year it has been! As COVID-19 continues to impact so many people, we at City Life Community Center are committed to continuing to make positive impacts in the lives of teens and families in Missoula. We have had to be creative not only in our time spent with struggling teens but also in our fundraising efforts. As we continue to seek to “replace, not cancel” important activities, our 19th Annual Auction is no exception. As such, whatever the format may be, we are committed to providing another engaging auction for our community this November. The dollars raised at this event are our primary fundraising means to drive our programs and provide operational benefit to all of our non-profit residents. 

The City Life Community Center is home to 14 local nonprofit and family organizations such as The Boys and Girls Club, Life Net, Youth for Christ, and Rocky Mountain Elite Basketball. Last year over 90 community groups, sports leagues, service clubs and schools used City Life to meet or run their programs. By collaborating with multiple non-profits, City Life is able to provide a professional work and programming environment while reducing redundant programming and lowering costs through shared resources. 

Most importantly over 4,000 youth were involved with and benefited from these programs. These youth consider City Life a great place to hang out and even a second home, and it is   important for us to maintain, and grow, that sense of belonging. 

On November 6th, 2021 City Life will hold its 19th Annual Auction. Donations like yours are what allow City Life to continue making a positive impact in our community. However, this year we are sensitive to and recognize the hardship COVID-19 has brought to many businesses. If you are able to partner with us through a donation, we would love to be able to include an item from you in this year’s auction and have an opportunity to recognize you in our program.
