Welcome...and thank you for visiting the 6th Annual Online Auction to benefit THAW, the Heat And Warmth Fund. 

We hope you find this year's array of items exciting and  dazzling and will want to bid on all of them! They have been generously  donated by leading metro Detroit businesses who are proud to support the work of THAW to provide utility assistance to families struggling to make it in this uncertain economy. 

Every dollar raised by this Auction will help THAW to provide emergency energy assistance (heat and lights) to families facing a serious financial crisis, usually due to a job loss, a serious illness or other family emergency, who are temporarily unable to pay their utility bills.

All donations are matched by DTE Energy or THAW's other utility partners so your bid will go twice as far! Our goal this year is to raise $750,000 which, when matched,  will mean enough additional funds to help over 2,600 families in southeast Michigan.

 NEW ITEMS WILL BE ADDED DAILY SO PLEASE CHECK BACK OFTEN!! The Auction runs until 6 P.M. Thursday, February 12th.

Winners will be notified by email at the close of the Auction. Please note: all items will need to be picked up in person at WWJ's studios in Southfield.  If an item needs to be shipped, it will be at the winner's expense.
