28th Annual
Educational Assistance Through Scholarships
Silent Auction Homepage
Thank you for your interest in our EATS 2010 Silent Auction! This is undoubtedly the most vital year ever for the silent auction and the EATS event as we enter into our 27th year. The economy has raised the level of importance this year for raising funds for scholarships from important to absolutely imperative! Students who do not receive scholarships this year will not just have a harder time, but honestly may not be able to attend college due to the extreme tough economic times that are upon us and still to come. This is why it is so important that we do everything we can to make the 27th year of EATS the most fabulous ever!
We have had so many generous individuals and businesses step up and support our cause this year that we can only hope to see you get as excited about bidding on these items as they have been about supporting this very important effort!
There will not be online bidding this year. Bidding will take place in person only at the event on Saturday, March 6th. There are some prize donors who have websites that can show you their product(s) or other like products in greater detail. When available, we have provided these links for you as well and encourage you to visit their sites as well.
As you are out and about in the community, please be sure to honor the generosity of our 2010 EATS silent auction donors by patronizing those businesses you see listed and please be sure to thank them for generously supporting scholarships at UWMC!
