Pace School Silent Auction
by Guido Giuntini 05 Sep '14

05 Sep '14

A dear friend is on the board of Pace School -- the school for autistic and developmentally delayed kids K-8 in Churchill -- every year their biggest fundraiser is the Race For Pace 5K -- it's on Saturday, October 18th. They have a silent auction during the race and we're looking for items for baskets, any kind of gift cards, tickets to sporting events, etc --- if you have anything you can't use, dying to regift, gift cards you don't need, etc., we'd love to have them. We can repackage almost anything and put together nice baskets. I can pick any items up, just let me know where and when….we'd really appreciate it!!Thank you!
