This auction item contains no jewelry, no travel to exotic destinations, and no luxury vehicle. Only the satisfaction of knowing you’ve made a great difference to many lives, to a child’s life, to the future. Each year we ask our guests to raise their paddles to support the efforts of research. And each year the response is gratifying generosity.

This year, we hope that you will raise your virtual paddle at whatever level suits you and know that you have made a significant difference in the fight against leukemia and cancer. Funds raised here are fully tax-deductible and may be used in matching grant programs which the recipients leverage three to five times the original pledge.
