CSFPA Scholarship Fund
Scholarships are awarded to graduating high school foster children who wish to further their education or enroll in a technical training course leading to certification in a life-training skill. All proceeds from both the Silent Auction and the 50 – 50 Raffle will support the Association’s scholarship fund. These two activities are virtually the only source of funding for the scholarship program. Your participation is greatly appreciated.
Silent Auction:
Donations of various items (small household items, toys, linens, gift cards, etc…) are being solicited. All auction items will be on display during the conference. Minimum bids will be identified and each successive bid must increase by a minimum of $1. Bidding will continue until 5:15 p.m. on Saturday. Individuals, chapters, and other organizations are all invited to donate items for the auction. For more information, please contact Mary Salli at (209) 541-3819.
