Come one, come all to our annual Tawakoni Gala and Auctions: virtually, Oct. 8-9, and in-person, Oct. 15, at Tawakoni.
This year’s focus capital improvement project is a new tractor with a fundraising goal of $20,000. Proceeds from this auction will also support 2023 camp scholarships.
The Virtual Auction will be 9 a.m. on Saturday, Oct. 8, through 9 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 9, and will feature specially curated items on the Tawakoni website www.tawakoni.org. After registering, look for an email from the Disciples Center at Tawakoni with your bid number and temporary password.
When the auction closes, auction winners will receive an automated message with the items won and payment instructions.
