JAPAN QUAKE RELIEFGifts & Bake Sale with Silent Auction

APRIL 12 & 13, 2011 BAXTER CENTER

More than 37 students and employees jumped at the chance to volunteer at the sale, which took place over 2-days at the NSCC Baxter Student Events Center. More people provided baked goods and gifts to sell. Countless people bought

goods.

Not only cookies, cakes and pastries, but delightful unique, handmade and/or Japanese goods were sold to benefit survivors

in Japan.

A silent auction featured kimonos, yukata, tea sets, embroidered aprons, origami, gift sets, and instructor-made

ceramics.

Volunteers from all over campus held the sale from 9 am – 1 pm, then 4 pm – 6 pm on both days.

All funds collected at the sale and auction were dedicated to the Red Cross in Japan.

After the first day, STARS collected $1,800 to benefit Japanese Red Cross.

At the end of the 2-day fundraiser, over $3,500 was raised for survivors of the earthquake and

tsunami.

Thank you to everyone who participated, as volunteers and donors, and to you, for viewing our

photo album!
