This virtual silent auction will serve both as outreach and fundraising for us. By being online and available to the public, we are getting more exposure, and therefore likely more volunteers. The auction items themselves will raise money for our organization as a whole. This auction will take place in August of 2024. Our starting goal is $25,000, which is a relatively low amount compared to other organizations. Since we are a fairly small organization, every dollar we raise is an incredible help. We're hoping this silent auction gets us a huge step forward in our progress. This auction will feature both higher and lower-end items, as well as hot items that people will want.
