Silent Auction Was a Big Success!

Thank you all for your support of the Silent Auction! With your support we reached our goal, raised over $31,000 and had over 200 attendees at ALX Atrium in Old Town. Please keep an eye on your email and be patient as we work through contacting and connecting with the winners. If you won a social, or a teacher experience, your information will be sent to the host so they can connect with you for the experience. While the auction closed on Saturday, we have a few last chance items that have spots left! These items will reopen on Monday, March 18th 12:01 AM and be open until Sunday, March 24th 10:00 PM. Bidding reopens on Monday but you can preview the last chance auction items here. An email will be sent on Monday with additional information.
