The National Cherry Blossom Festival Online Auction is now open. The auction runs from March 14 to March 27, 2011. There will be a silent auction at the Pink Tie Party event on March 23, 2011.
As we continue to honor the relationship between the United States and Japan, and in this great time of need, a portion of the proceeds generated from the online auction will go to the Red Cross and their Japan Earthquake and Pacific Tsunami fund. Proceeds generated will also support the Festival in its mission dedicated to promoting the beauty of nature and international friendship through year-round programs, events, and educational initiatives that enhance our environment, showcase arts and culture, and build community spirit.
This year’s National Cherry Blossom Festival, March 26 – April 10, is a 16-day celebration that will bring over one million visitors to the nation’s capital, and commemorates the 99th anniversary of the gift of cherry blossom trees and the enduring friendship between the United States and Japan.
