We are planning the Live & Silent Auction, our largest fundraiser, and we need your help.
This year, due to COVID-19 restrictions, there will be a multi-day online auction leading up to the Blue Jean Gala, which will be held Saturday, March 27, 2021. The Blue Jean Ball will be a fun night celebrated in small groups, and in safe environments, in the private homes of our Concord supporters.
