Check back here for the auction link to go-live on December 5th, so you can win you favorite item. The auction closes on December 12th.

Fundraising is more important than ever as a result of the challenges we have all faced with COVID-19.

Heart In the Park Campaign
Join Heart in the Park!
Display this heart in your window to let the world know your heart is with them during this pandemic. A local mom heard about an effort in the Midwest to display hearts in windows to show support for medical personnel fighting to help COVID-19 victims. Her son and daughter-in-law work in a local ER. She worries about them every day, but knows they are fighting for others and she is thankful.
Please join us in showing support for them and others who are fighting to stop this pandemic and keep us safe.
