THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!
THANK YOU for your support of the second annual Light of Hope Auction!
We had an AMAZING response from our Highmark Caring Place community, and the Bidding for Good community, thank you.
In TOTAL, we raised $56,331 for the Caring Place.
One hundred percent of the funds raised go directly to the Highmark Caring Place, helping us continue to bring all our services at no cost to children and families who are grieving.
Here a look at some highlights of the auction:
- 72 auction packages made up of more than 100 total items were up for bid, with every item donated by our generous in-kind donors!
- 132 bidders made over 500 bids!
- More than $34,000 in Sponsorships and direct donations!
And, as always, all funds raised are matched dollar for dollar by Highmark, Inc.
THANK YOU for helping to provide a light of hope for children finding their way on their grief journey!
