5 Ways To Support The Greater Lakes Region Children’s Auction
This annual event is back from December 6th-9th at the Belknap Marketplace, 96 Daniel Webster Hwy, Belmont, NH from 9AM-7PM daily. They will also be broadcasting Live on Lakes FM 101.5 Radio, Breezeline Channel 12, LRPA Channel 25 and covered by The Laconia Daily Sun.
Over the 39 years that the community has come together, over $7 million dollars has been raised for local charities, all through volunteer efforts, community donations and corporate sponsorships. Everything is donated; phone service, lights, auction items, computers, the location where they hold the auction; all donated! Even the food is donated by local restaurants which provide meals for the all-volunteer staff throughout the week.
Here’s 5 ways you can help:
Amazon Smile
