Submitted by Soroptimist International of Friday Harbor

When facing COVID-19 created necessity to cancel this year’s St. Patrick’s Day Extravaganza, Friday Harbor Soroptimists moved on to the next best thing for our biggest fundraiser of the year. Women and girls of San Juan County need our assistance more than ever before, so we have moved our exciting auction to an online format. We need and greatly appreciate your help to meet our goals and fund our vital community programs.

Please join us at https://charityauction.bid/sifri as we auction off an amazing array of items donated by generous island businesses and community members. We will hold three separate auctions, each with a different theme, beginning Thursday, July 23 and ending Wednesday, Aug. 12.

When you bid, you will be supporting programs such as the Women’s Emergency Fund, Cancer Treatment Transportation Fund, Senior Nutrition Program, High School Scholarships, and many more.

Founded in 1996, our club is part of Soroptimist International, a global organization that works to improve the lives of women and girls through programs leading to social and economic empowerment. Our members join with almost 160,000 Soroptimists in about 120 countries and territories to contribute time and financial support to community-based projects benefiting women and girls.
