The Burr Online Auction is one of our largest annual fundraisers. It's a great chance to support the Burr community and win some great items!

  • Would you be willing to reach out to a few people/businesses to ask for donations? 
  • Do you have something to donate? 
  • Perhaps you could help enter data into the website?  
All help is welcome and this is a very flexible volunteer opportunity!

Please join us for a planning kick off meeting—Thursday January 16 at 8pm. Please email amie@burrpto.org for zoom link or if you can help.
