23rd Ward Youth Fundraiser - May 21st

Once a year, the youth in the ward have the opportunity to raise funds through donations. This year, we will be holding a ward dinner and auction where you’ll have the chance to bid on donated goods and services. We are looking for donations for the auction which will be held on May 21. The money raised at this fundraiser will be used to pay for the Young Men and Young Women Camps this summer. We appreciate your generosity to help.

Please let us know what you are willing to donate for the fundraiser. Donations can include almost anything people would be interested in bidding on, including art, new or gently used items, homemade/unique items, antiques, baked goods, craft items, or services (like piano lessons, dinners, teaching a skill, offering skilled trade work etc).

Please fill out this google form if you are willing to provide a donation(s) so we can keep track of what going to be available that evening.
