Jessie Behm and Nicci Hammerel attended the Sierras March 8th fundraiser and both bid on and won some fantastic silent auction items. With the help of the Power Foundation, we’re really making a difference in our community!
Over 200 community members attended the event at the Olympic Village Lodge on March 8th. Men and women enjoyed the food, wine, silent auction and live music by the Angele and Wildwood Band. Surveys from the audience indicated that the films were a highlight of this unique event.
Thanks in part to the support of Corporate Visions, Girls on the Run- Sierras raised over $26,000 at our fifth annual signature fundraiser event. We raised just under $6000 in ticket sales and $3500 from corporate sponsors. The silent auction was a tremendous success with 150 items that raised $13,255 for nonprofits benefiting girls and women. Our “just give” effort raised $3150 to provide program scholarship to a team of low income girls. With the help of Squaw Valley and our in-kind media partners, expenses were just under $2500 so we netted $23,655 for Girls on the Run and made a $895 donation to the Breast Cancer Fund.
