Bid On Auction Items
New and interesting donations are coming in every day, from as far away as Poland and as close by as our Edmonds neighbors. Bid on a whale watching trip in the San Juans, lunch with the mayor of Edmonds, original works of art, an autographed Seahawks football, a ride-along with an Edmonds Police K-9 unit or a weekend getaway in the Cascades.
You Can Donate
Perhaps you have something you might donate. Are you an artist, a crafter, a travel agent? Do you own a business? Are you handy around the house? Perhaps you have a vacation home, a private plane or yacht!

Pitching In
Would you like to help plan the auction? Are you interested in publicity and invitations? Do you like to plan refreshments and catering? Would you like to help set up and oversee the silent auction? Perhaps you, or someone you know, would be an excellent cashier.
Don’t be shy. Making a difference can be as simple as helping to clean up afterwards, and cash donations are always appreciated.
Please contact Christina Ivanna at 425-778-2384 or send us an email to discuss ways in which you can help with the auction.
Make a Difference, One Child at a Time
Help raise funds to provide a quality education for our very special children.
We are dreaming big when it comes to our first auction, and would like to have as many items or services as possible from our friends and donors.
Bid on a “Hooray for Braille” tote bag filled with a print/braille alphabet place mat, magnetic alphabet letters, and three board books with braille overlays.
