Can you help secure a donated item (or items) for use at our event’s basket raffles and silent auction?
Adoption STAR has been the beneficiary of tremendous generosity over the years. Whether it has come in the form of dedicated volunteers giving so freely of their time, individuals or organizations fundraising dollars on our behalf, or even hand-make baby blankets that are donated and the distributed to new Adoption STAR adoptive families, we’re lucky to have a wide variety of support from so many different people. We always try to do our best to say it on a regular basis, but it never hurts to repeat it – THANK YOU…for everything!
Having that said, we’re turning to our friends and supporters for assistance with our upcoming “15 and Fabulous: Fifteen Years of Touching Lives” event in May. To read more information about the event, please click here.
We are in need of donated items to include as a part of the basket raffles and silent auctions that will be happening during our event. If you (or someone you know) can able to help in this capacity, we’d be so very appreciative. A committee of folks has been working diligently on planning this event for several months now, and our committee co-chairs (and proud adoptive parents) Gregory and Robyn Altman have offered up the list of suggested “themes” for the basket raffles and/or silent auctions. Please review the list and if you can help in any way, contact Adoption STAR Development Associate Kristin Ackerman at 716-639-3900 or [email protected]
