Old Mill Center's Annual Auction - May 8th 2010
The annual auction is Old Mill's largestfundraising event of the year and is critical for both program services and individual children's scholarships. In 2009, over $150,000 in gross revenues was raised by a lively, enthusiastic crowd of patrons. These funds allow us to include more children that need help, as well as expand programs and services, such as the Bright Beginnings and Child & Family Therapy Groups. The auction provides a worthy opportunity for good people to do good things.
The evening includes both a silent and live auction with many returning favorites, especially the children's Art from the Heart. After browsing the extensive selection of silent auction items, a delicious feast awaits, including complimentary beer and wine. The evening will culminate with the fast-paced live auction. From a week at a faraway tropical destination to local weekend getaways, rafting adventures and golf packages, to the real highlight of the evening, an opportunity to commit scholarship dollars for deserving children and families, the OMC Annual Spring Auction has something for everyone.
For more information or to support the auction with a gift or to purchase auction tickets, please call Old Mill at 541-757-8068 or click the link above.
