ROCHESTER—
Join The Homemakers in celebrating 35 years of building a healthy community at it’s 35th Anniversary Auction in March - an event which will feature both a live and on-line auction.
Eastern Propane and Oil is the major Home Health Care Patron sponsor of this year’s event. Other sponsors to date include D.F. Richard, a Health Care Advocate sponsor, Peach and McPherson, CPAs and Seacoast Redicare, Home Health Care Caregiver sponsors.
“While The Homemakers has grown and changed over the past 35 years, several things have not changed – our commitment to providing professional, compassionate and cost effective home health, home support and adult day care services, and our increasing need to raise funds to provide those elderly and disabled persons in our community with the vital healthcare services they need,” says Tammy Jordan-Cary, director of development at The Homemakers. “With the help of the community we’re hoping that our 35th Anniversary Auction will be among one of our largest fundraisers planned for this year.”
The Homemakers 35th Anniversary Auction will kick off with an on-line auction. Beginning March 1st, interested bidders are invited to participate in a special on-line event which will run from 8 a.m. March 1st through midnight March 21st on the Agency’s website www.TheHomemakers.org. In addition, bidders will be able to preview items that will be up for bid at the live auction, which will be held Saturday, March 27th at The Red Barn at Outlook Farm in South Berwick.
“Over the years, The Homemakers’ Live Auction event has become more than a fundraiser. It’s become a community event - an enjoyable, fun evening where people come together to support our cause while experiencing a wonderful night out with friends and members of The Homemakers’ family, says Jordan-Cary.
Tickets for this year’s 35th Anniversary Auction are $40 and include entry to the silent and live auction, appetizers and dinner. Tickets will not be available at the door and must be purchased in advance. Doors will open at 6 p.m. The silent auction portion of the evening will begin at 6 p.m. followed by the live auction event, featuring auctioneer Mark Ericson of WOKQ’s Morning Waking Crew.
Sports memorabilia, a meal for four delivered to your home each month, gift certificates to restaurants, golf courses and NH attractions; hand-made quilts, works of art and weekend get-aways are just a few of the more than 100 items that will be up for bid during the on-line and live auction events.
All donors of auction items will be listed on The Homemakers’ auction website. All business donors will also be provided a direct link on the auction website to their business. Sponsorship opportunities ranging from $1,500 to $250 are also available.
