The theme of the 2026 Silent Auction Fundraiser is "Gathering".  After a long, dreary Michiana winter, we're all looking forward to gathering with friends and family in warm weather.  We'd love to see items on the fundraiser focused on getting people together and spending time outside.  

Examples of silent auction offerings that have done well in the past are:

• Themed meals for a group of people
• Personal services, such as massage, professional consulting, Reiki, etc. 
• Accommodations at an Airbnb or guesthouse
• Locally crafted or handmade goods
• Gift certificates to local businesses

Other donation ideas include (but are not limited to):

• Planned outdoor activities, such as guided nature hikes, yard games & snacks for a group, time at a private pool or pond
• Hosted game nights or other activities for groups
• Art or Craft classes
• CSA baskets or homemade jams, bread, cheese, etc.
  

We are accepting donations for Silent Auction items now through Friday, February 20.  

To donate an item, complete the form below or email Janell.  You will be contacted within several days with any clarifications or questions about your item.  Plan to provide at least one photo to be used on the auction website listing.
