The Friends Foundation’s 29th annual fundraiser will take place as an online auction this year.
Registration begins and Gold Tickets, $100 each, go on sale Monday, Oct. 3 at 10 a.m. Gold Ticket sales will end on Tuesday, Oct. 11 at 6 p.m. if not sold out. An electronic drawing will determine the Gold Ticket winner, who will have their pick of (one) item from the auction’s Feature Items list. The remaining Feature Items and auction items will be available to bid on when the auction opens on Thursday, Oct. 13 at 10 a.m. The auction will close, and all bidding will end, on Saturday, Oct. 22 at 8 p.m.
This online auction will help sustain The Friends Foundation’s programs and services. These include Our Daily Bread, which delivers meals to local area elderly residents; Lifeline, which provides a medic alert device for seniors staying at home to summon help in an emergency; and financial assistance for life’s necessities and emergencies.
The Friends Foundation is an all-volunteer, nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization. All proceeds from the fundraiser are used to support services and programs improving the quality of life for the elderly in the greater Dripping Springs area. It is as their slogan says: “Doing good deeds to meet the elderly’s needs.”
