Fundraising Auction and Raffle Draw
A significant highlight of the yearly event is the fundraising auction and raffle draw. This year, attendees had the opportunity to bid on and win an array of delightful items and experiences generously donated by individuals and businesses. From exclusive getaways to sports experiences and unique art pieces, the auction and raffle draw added an extra layer of excitement to the evening while playing a crucial role in raising additional funds to support People for Education's vital work.
