3️⃣ Community Auction 🎟️
We have an exciting opportunity to take over the Community Auction fundraiser in Casper!

Currently, there are five auction tables at local restaurants and businesses.
Responsibilities include:
Weekly tasks such as picking up bid sheets, setting up tables, and updating the online portal.
Estimated time commitment: 1.5 hours per week (varies based on tasks).
If the team takes over, 100% of the funds raised will go directly to support Casper athletes.

We are looking for a Community Auction Coordinator to lead this effort. If you’re interested, please reach out!

Let’s make these fundraisers a success for our athletes! 🎉 Thank you for your continued support.

Please let me know if I can answer any questions!

Thank-you,
