Fundraising auction for the Virginia Avenue Project
Please link and publicize this as much as possible.
The organization I have volunteered with for fourteen years, The Virginia Avenue Project, is holding an auction. It's a mentoring group for kids in Los Angeles. They do amazing work, which I have personally witnessed.
100% of the Project kids graduate from high school. 90% of them continue to college. 85% of them are the first in their family to do so.
And one is currently a White House aide!
Because of the horrible economy, they recently lost funding. This has had many effects, including cutting their usual summer program, which this year will serve half the number of kids that it usually does. To make up for this, they are holding an auction.
Please help out in any way you can, either by offering something, by bidding on something, or by mentioning this in your blog or Facebook page. The sidebar at the auction site explains how to participate.
