18th Annual Gloria Dei Youth Auction
Please join us for an evening of celebration and connection as we invest in our youth preparing to travel on one of this year’s summer trips. The night will include food, music, connection, a silent auction, and a live auction as well. Proceeds from this year’s auction will fund, in-part, our Middle School and High School Summer Trips!
Where are they headed this summer?
Middle School
Chicago, IL
Through Serve Boldly, we will partner with organizations working to alleviate the immediate impacts of poverty throughout Chicago. We will learn about issues of hunger and homelessness as we support and learn from local experts who work closely with those most impacted in the community.
High School
Camp Calumet, NH
On this week-long trip to New Hampshire, our high school students will have abundant opportunities to grow in their faith, connect with one another, and connect with God through friendship, creation, once-in-a-lifetime experiences, and all kinds of adventures.
Summer trips are consistently some of our most impactful experiences that we can offer our Gloria Dei youth. Students return from trips more connected to one another, more connected to Gloria Dei, and more eager to live out their relationship with God and their love for their neighbors. These trips happen because of the generous support of Gloria Dei people like you! We never want the cost of a trip to prevent a student from participating.
Our goal this year is to raise $20,000 to supplement the cost of the trips, and we need your help! Previous years’ auctions included more than 350 items each.
Here’s how you can participate in this year’s auction to support our youth:
Donate items to be sold at the auction
Come to the auction on Saturday, February 21
Invite family and friends to support the Auction event
If you are unable to attend the Auction, but still would like to support youth this year, please contact Megan Shoup (megans@gloria-dei.com) to send a monetary donation.
On behalf of our trip participants and their families, thank you so very much!
