Helping Paws is preparing for our biggest event of the year—Tail Waggin’ Dinner—and we’re currently collecting auction items for our silent auction, live auction, and raffles!

We’re especially looking for unique experiences and high-value items that make guests say “wow.” Do you have:

  • Access to a cozy cabin or vacation home?
  • Connections to concerts, sports events, or theater tickets?
  • A gift card, basket, or item from your business you’d love to donate?

Your generosity directly supports our mission of placing expertly trained assistance dogs with people who need them.

To donate an item or experience, fill out this quick form: onecau.se/_b4mhn1

Please note: We may group your item with others or reserve it for a future event to ensure the greatest impact for Helping Paws.
