The online portion of the 2011 Helping Hands Auction is now open. The auction will run from Tuesday, September 6 to 11pm Thursday, September 22 with the live event taking place on Saturday, September 24.
Helping Hands: Monkey Helpers for the Disabled is a national nonprofit serving quadriplegic and other people with severe spinal cord injuries or mobility-impairments by providing highly trained monkeys to assist with daily activities.
We raise and train these monkeys to act as live-in companions who, over the course of 20-30 years, will provide the gifts of independence, companionship, dignity and hope to the people they help.
Through the generous support of donors and volunteers - just like you - our monkeys are placed at no cost to our recipients.
When you bid on our items, you change lives, renew hope, and bring a sense of independence and companionship to our recipients’ lives.
ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES: Bidders must be 21 years of age to purchase, consume or possess beer or liquor in the State of Massachusetts. Helping Hands reserves the right to check proper identification.
