I am the Online Auction Chair for Fairfax County Mothers of Multiples, also known as FCMOM. We are a local branch of a national organization, National Organization of Mothers of Twins Club, Inc. We are a local 501(c)3 non-profit self-help organization that provides information, education and support to mothers, grandmothers, female legal guardians and expectant mothers of multiples (twins, triplets or higher order births). Through our meetings, speakers and social activities, we aim to alleviate the stresses of raising multiples including pregnancy complications, NICU stays, postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety and other parenting challenges of raising multiples. FCMOM currently has around 200 members and almost 900 children! During these trying times, FCMOM is busy finding new and creative ways to continue connecting with our members and local community organizations.

In order to fund opportunities for our members and their families we will be hosting our fourth online auction starting mid-March to raise funds so that we can continue to provide needed programming. I am reaching out today to see if you would be interested in donating to our upcoming online auction. We are looking for donations of gift cards, services, experiences or baskets of items. All donations will indicate the donor details as part of the description and will be advertised through Facebook and other advertising outlets as we promote our event. Through our online auction we hope to not only raise funds for FCMOM but to also provide an avenue for our members and community to connect with local businesses.

Thank you so much for your consideration.
