FAUSA’s Got Talent and More! FUNdraiser

FAUSA hosted its first virtual auction, ‘FAUSA’s Got Motion...and More!’ over the course of a week for the 2020 Annual Meeting and Getaway fundraiser. FAUSA and FAWCO members donated gifts of talents and things for both this silent and the live auction held the evening of the Annual Meeting. The tradition of auctioning a beautiful handmade quilt continued with the donation of a quilt by Jane Indreland.

Through the use of Zoom and an online auction platform OneCause, we reached many more of our members virtually and without incurring meeting or travel expenses. Participation by many members who had not previously attended a Getaway increased so the FAUSA ‘community’ continues to grow by reaching out through cyberspace!

A second new feature was also added, ‘R(aise) Up for 2020!’, a series of successive donation challenges were set, met and over achieved throughout the fundraiser evening.

An astonishing $18,000 was raised through the above efforts and generosity of so many. A huge shout out to all who participated.

Examples of a few of the items that were included in the auction appear below.

  1. Handwoven poncho
