RIVERFRONT CHILDREN'S CENTER ANNUAL SILENT AUCTION

Each year, Riverfront welcomes supporters and guests to the Silent Auction, offering an outstanding selection of items for bidding, all donated by area businesses and individuals.  Auction items include original artwork, gift certificates for goods and services, tickets and memberships to area attractions and museums, gift items, and much more.  Event guests also enjoy live music by local artists along with a complimentary wine bar, hors d’oeuvres and ‘wicked-good’ desserts.  All proceeds will benefit Riverfront’s Tuition Assistance Fund, which awards need based scholarships to some of our poorest, most at risk children, those for whom Early Education is not financially attainable. They are the children in danger of entering public school at a disadvantage and already lagging behind their peers, and many would never succeed in closing that gap.  Our investment in helping build a strong educational foundation for them now will return dividends throughout their public school experience and beyond.
