Auction 2024: Can we count on you?
 When the Dominicstrong auction first took place, everything was a blur. He’d only been gone a month; his room still had his things in it, and the grief was fresh. Friends were helping organize it all, and it was a lot of work just to keep up with all of the offers coming in.The auction has changed a lot. It’s rare (but still wonderful) when someone comes to us with something, but for the most part it’s us going out and contacting prospective donors. If you didn’t donate last year, we’re not going to bother you this year unless you specifically told us to remind you.Results don’t lie, and the auction has brought in nearly $10,000 a year. But every year at this time I’m stressing because our Facebook group isn’t getting much reach.So here we go: This year’s auction runs Sept. 27-29, 2024, and it’s the 10th one we’ve done! Dom would be turning 12 this year. As we always say, it’s how we parent a child who’s no longer here.Would you, someone you know, your employer, or a business you frequent be interested in giving something? We are ridiculously easy to get a hold of: email donations@dominicstrong.com or message Trish or Sean on Facebook. We’ve even uploaded the official 2024 request letter PDF if you’d like to download and use it.We don’t have much time to get this rolling. The auction is basically a month away, and we have to catalogue, photograph, write descriptions for, and post all of the items. The deadline to get something in this year’s auction is Sept. 20.Thanks so much for your support. It means the world to us, but more importantly to the kids who use the hospital.
