Annual Auction Items DUE!
The Fundraising Team is excited to announce our upcoming Annual Auction! This event is dedicated to raising funds for the Environmental Defenders of McHenry County. From February 23, 2025 at 8:00am to March 9, 2025 at 8:00pm, we will host the online auction. There will also be two 50/50 raffles (one online and one in-person) and a bag raffle at the annual meeting.
To make this auction a success, we are seeking donations of items, services, or experiences to include in the auction catalog. Contributions from generous individuals, organizations and businesses are essential to help us reach our fundraising goals and create a meaningful impact.
All donors will be recognized during the event and through our promotional materials, reaching a wide audience of environmentally conscious individuals and businesses. Your support not only aids an important cause, but also highlights your commitment to sustainability and community involvement.
If you’re interested in contributing, please provide us with the descriptions and/or photos of the services or consumables. Bring any non-perishable items to the Defenders’ new office (114 S Jefferson, Woodstock – call 815-338-0393 first) by February 14, 2025 or contact Anne Basten at basten1@sbcglobal.net or 815-344-5647 (leave a message). We are happy to discuss other ways you can support our efforts. All donations must include your contact information (name, phone, and email), a minimum starting price, the approximate value, and an expiration date for any services offered.
All donations are greatly appreciated! It is possible that your donation will be combined with other donations or may not be used for this event. The Defenders’ Fundraising Committee may determine another way for your items or skills to be used to benefit the organization.
Thank you for considering this opportunity to make a difference. Together, we can create a brighter future for our County.
