The 23rd Annual Baskets O’Plenty Auction is scheduled for Thursday, March 10, 2016 at the BPO Elks Lodge #346 – 1805 Fashion Outlet Boulevard in the Town of Niagara.
Event chairperson, Christine S. O’Hara, Executive Director of Alumni Engagement at Niagara University said, “The Agency is in need of complete theme baskets (baking, gardening, children’s, pets, etc.). However, donations to help fill baskets are also welcomed and appreciated. Items such as restaurant/store gift certificates, bottles of wine and cheer, tickets to sporting and cultural events are always popular.” All donations can be dropped off at Opportunities Unlimited of Niagara located at 1555 Fashion Outlet Boulevard, Niagara Falls or arrangements can be made to have your donation picked-up. O’Hara also says, “We have event sponsorships available for any businesses interested in partnering with us.”
Proceeds from the Baskets O’Plenty Auction will benefit the programs for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities supported by Opportunities Unlimited of Niagara which include day programming, residential, job training, fine arts and horticulture therapy.
For more information on the event, donating baskets/items, event sponsorship, or to arrange a pick-up of your donation, please contact Cindy Hyde at 297-6400, Ext. 335 or chyde@oppunlimited.org.
