LITTLE PEOPLE OF AMERICA (LPA) is a nonprofit organization that provides support, information, and education to individuals of short stature and their families. Most of these people have a form of dwarfism, but not all.  Little People of America, or LPA, provides new parent support, peer support and mentoring, social interaction, medical support, school and community education, scholarships, and grants to its members.  Our little people members are individuals that are less than 4'10" but are living in a world made for the average height person. LPA membership ranges from newborns to senior citizens, little people to average height family members and supporters.  All people are welcome in LPA, regardless of race, religion, ethnicity, or economic status!

Proceeds from this auction will benefit our local Puget Sound chapter general fund. This fund helps cover the expense of creating mentoring programs, hosting educational workshops, providing school libraries with books supporting the acceptance of those with dwarfism and differences, implementing community awareness and outreach, facilitating medical professional outreach and, so much more. All these programs create an improved quality of life for the members of the LPA community as well as fostering a sense of inclusion and acceptance in the greater Puget Sound community.
