Burlington Building Bridges will be hosting a chair silent auction as a fundraiser playing off the word “CHAIR-rity” in October. The hope is your organization will donate a clearance or mismatched chair. At the time of auction, the sponsors will be celebrated for donations.
2020 has been a hard year for everyone. Resourcing our Building Bridges graduates during the difficulties of COVID has been intense. As a new nonprofit, donations have slowed drastically. The hope is the chair charity silent auction will help cover the gaps in income. The CHAIR-ity will be our only fundraising event in 2020.
