Description

We are hosting a Tricky Tray on April 19th, 2024.  We are seeking donations for the tricky tray (aka basket auction) in which participants attend and purchase ticket books for. Those tickets are placed in containers for the items they hope to win. One person can put as many tickets as they want in a container for a specific basket/item to increase their odds of winning. At the end of the night, one ticket from each container is pulled and the person whose ticket is called is the winner. Our previous events have been very successful thanks to donors like yourself.

The Mackenzie Blair Foundation has been raising awareness for Sudden Unexplained Death in Childhood (SUDC) and providing care packages for families who have lost a child suddenly and unexpectedly. Our Foundation also provides a scholarship to high school students who have suffered adversity to assist them with pursuing their career goals.    Our short-term future goal of the Foundation is to help families struggling with the sudden loss of a child with funeral costs. These unexpected costs, which can range from $10,000-$15,000, can significantly impact a family financially for a significant period of time. That impact, on top of the grief of losing a child, can affect the dynamic of the family for years to come. Our hope is to help ease the stress and impact of those families.  All donors will be acknowledged in our event brochure and by the item that was donated.
