Last week's 17th Helping Hands Auction was a dream! Thank you to all who sponsored, attended, donated auction items, and helped us raise funds to provide diapers, warm winter clothing and support for chronic health conditions for children in our community.
When we were kids we built dream lives for our dolls, but when we grew up we realized that dream lives are out of reach for many in our community. By coming together, we can be the helping hands that give families resources like diapers, winter clothing and support with chronic health conditions, so that they have the opportunity to create their own dream lives. Please join us by donating: https://igfn.us/form/ySmBCw
Thank you to our Media Sponsor for tonight's 17th Annual Helping Hands Auction, 10/11 News as well as our emcee, Taryn Vanderford 1011 NOW. Their support is helping us raise funds to provide diapers and winter clothing to children and families in our community. A portion of this year's proceeds will also help Heart Heroes provide superhero capes and Totes of Hope to children in our community living with congenital heart defects.
"New coats are so expensive! I tried a thrift shop but couldn't find anything in their size. I wasn't sure how I was going to keep my kids warm this winter. These coats are an answer to prayers."
Your support of our Helping Hands Auction makes it possible for parents in this situation to receive assistance with diapers and warm winter clothing for their children. We are looking forward to making an impact with all of our guests this Thursday, January 25 at the 17th Annual Helping Hands Auction at Embassy Suites at 5:30 p.m.
