DONATE ITEMS FOR OUR SILENT AUCTION

The St. Elizabeth’s Centennial Anniversary is planning an silent auction to raise much-needed funds for the parish. You can support this fundraiser by donating an item for the auction. We need gift certificates to restaurants, local businesses, jewelry, breweries, retail shops, grocery stores, museums, etc. Do you offer a service such as hairstylist, makeup, accounting, decorating, etc. The silent auction is a great way to promote your business and a great way to raise money for St. Elizabeth.
