Bid for Kids' Sake Silent Auction
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we were not able to hold this year's AFE Gala. The Gala is AFE's biggest fundraiser of the year, and provides approximately a third of our annual budget. The pandemic may have put the Gala on hold, but it did not decrease the need for AFE's programs and services - in fact, the need is even greater now. We are thrilled to share that - thanks to our generous auction donors and enthusiastic bidders - the "Bid for Kids' Sake" auction raised more than $15,000 to support AFE's programs.
Un-Gala Sponsors
& Honorary Committee
We are especially grateful for these businesses and individuals who have chosen to support our special Back to School appeal in lieu of the AFE Gala that would normally occur in the Fall.
