WestfordCAT is eagerly planning our online holiday auction event, Celebrating 15 Years Connecting Westford Residents. You may remember our 2021 event and some of the exciting auction items we offered, as well as a chance to have your photo taken with Santa at our Westford studio! Last year’s event raised over $3,000 – 100% of this money went directly to support our programs.
Plans are well underway for this year’s auction event, which will be held online from December 4-11 following pictures with Santa on December 3. All proceeds from this event will support our youth programming. We hope your business will consider supporting this year’s event, such as:
- Sponsor the event for $100 (includes your organization’s logo on our website and free Santa photo)
- Auction item donation such as gift basket, gift certificate, etc.
- Donation to WCAT in any amount
