For this Giving Tuesday, we wanted to share what your donation means to parents and families in Colorado. $12/mo provides a struggling parent with a support group; $50 funds a community connections project to spread the word; $125 matches a parent with a family advocate to walk alongside them. Every donation helps, and you can learn more at fosteralight.com!

If you are encountering issues placing a bid online, we recommend creating an account with BetterWorld (the hosting service) first by clicking "Log in" in the top right corner! We are also simultaneously running an in-person version of this auction, so bid online or stop by in-person to place your bid!

The amazing results of our costume contest! We’re here until noon, so stop by, and don’t forget - our auction ends at 11:30! (If you encounter issues placing a bid in the auction, try making an account with BetterWorld first!).

Thanks to an incredibly kind donor, the next $4,000 that we receive through donations or the silent auction will be double matched, but only if we hit that $4,000! Now is a great time to donate and have your money go further than ever!

Well, the forecast has changed somewhat, and suddenly an outdoor event is sounding a little less fun! Fortunately, the folks at Poudre School District were incredibly helpful in getting us set up in the Fort Collins High School Small Gym, less than 1 minute away from our originally planned location!

Our event should conclude before any serious snow hits (we're only scheduled for up to 1/2 inch before noon), but if you're not planning to attend in person, you can still bid on our fabulous auction items before 11:30am tomorrow: https://fosteralight.betterworld.org/auctions/carnival

It may be better to give than to receive, but we think that's a false dichotomy! Check out Foster Alight's fundraiser auction to give AND receive!!! Tons of businesses have been super generous to donate lots of awesome items for our auction! Want to do even more giving that doesn't cost anything? Please react, comment, and share this post to get the word out!
