SUMMARY:VINS Annual Online Auction
DESCRIPTION:VINS Annual Online Auction\nFriday\, October 17 – Sunday\, November 9 \nSupport with a bid and get a little something in return! \nThe VINS annual auction will raise funds to support our work across the entire organization: our environmental education programs\, research\, and wildlife rehabilitation efforts. Our goal is $18\,000. Your participation in the auction helps us reach thousands of children\, educators\, adult learners and bird patients each year. Whether you’re looking for something special for yourself or a loved one\, this is a wonderful way to support VINS and local businesses this holiday season. \nJUST IN: A generous donor will match every dollar from the highest bids—up to $18\,000—placed by Halloween (October 31!). That means your bid has double the impact. No tricks\, just treats! \nView the auction and bid here \nThank you for your support!
