United Way of the Tri-Valley Area is set to host its Great Charity Auction, sponsored by Franklin Savings Bank, Full Bloom Hydroponics Gardening Center and IEC Electric.
The auction will be online this year, and all are encouraged to check out items up for bid at airauctioneer.com/the-great-charity-auction/preview.
Unique items this year include “bucket list” experiences such as sky diving, pontoon boat rides, a Stanley Steamer ride and boudoir photo sessions.
The auction opens at 8 a.m. Monday, Nov. 15, and closes at 6 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 20. All proceeds raised are invested back into Greater Franklin County, including Livermore and Livermore Falls.
The Great Charity Auction is a signature fundraiser for United Way. Proceeds help fund programs that United Way supports, including Meals on Wheels, Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Services and The Hope Fund.
United Way is still accepting donations for this year’s auction as well; people can contact Lisa Laflin at 207-778-5048 or [email protected] if they have an item or experience they would like to donate.
