The Summit Project - 3rd Annual Online Auction (WEEK 1)

Description

Sunday, October 30, 2022 12:00 Midnight - Saturday, November 5, 2022 11:45 PM EST https://www.32auctions.com/organizations/90643/auctions/132431?r=1&t=all Every day The Summit Project tries to answer one question: How can we as a community of Mainers come together and ensure that our state’s post 9/11 fallen heroes are NOT forgotten? Since Memorial Day 2013, The Summit Project has collected biographical stories and tribute stones that uniquely represent our fallen, and we have invited members of our community to carry them on tribute treks across Maine and all over the world. In just nine years, the lives of Maine heroes have been honored on Katahdin, Kilimanjaro, Everest, Iceland, Cadillac, Denali and have been carried through parades, marathons and marches across Maine and the USA. Thousands of participants have come together to honor our heroes through action. In short, The Summit Project is a proven living memorial and helps us fulfill our duty as Maine citizens. We are a 100% unpaid, all-volunteer run program and we need your help to continue this important work. We know that The Summit Project inspires service, strengthens our communities, and changes lives, but we are not without overhead costs. This “Living Memorial” can only continue to grow stronger with your support. Run completely by volunteers, every fundraising dollar returns in full to directly improve the program. After 9 strong years and a lot of hard work, TSP is setting the standard for honoring and remembering our heroes from Maine. On October 30th, 2022, we will be hosting our 3rd Annual Online Auction to help drive forward our mission in 2023. Our goal for this year is $10,000. Reaching this goal would: Allow more Gold Star families to attend each of our hosted events Broaden the outreach to our target audience Help improve the Honor Room at Portland MEPS where our heroes’ stones are displayed Maintain the Honor Case and other critical assets of the organization Provide for the ongoing operational needs of our program Contribute toward the purchase of a new trailer to assist with transporting our stones and stories across all 16 counties of Maine We are so excited to share with you the Week 1 items of our auction and the donors who have made this possible! (5) unique items will be available for bidding during each week between Oct 30th and Nov 26th of 2022.
