What an incredible week! The Special Education Foundation’s inaugural Starfish Awards Silent Auction ended last Friday and helped raise more than $1,700 to support SEF’s mission of assisting students with disabilities in St. Louis County.
The Auction was part of the 3rd Annual Starfish Awards event, held last week at The Reverie in Chesterfield.
Whether you joined us in person at the Starfish Awards celebration or bid from the comfort of your couch using the Givi app, our auction participants helped make this event unforgettable. From sports memorabilia and fine dining adventures to golf in St. Louis, the bidding competition was friendly but fierce right up until the final whistle!
Thanks to everyone who joined, and very special thanks to those businesses and individuals who donated items for the auction:
Mark and Jen Hinkel
Debbie Bentele
Norwood Hills Country Club
And the Winners Are...
Congratulations to MaryLee Burleman, Wendi Pendergrass, Ryan Williams, and Rich Carver on their winning bids!
The Real Winner: Our Students
While we’re happy to hand over some amazing prizes to our highest bidders, the biggest win of all goes to the students we serve.
Every bid placed supports the Special Education Foundation’s vital mission: empowering students with disabilities through programs and opportunities that enrich their educational experiences and help them achieve greater independence. Because of your participation, we can continue funding critical resources, scholarships, and assistive technologies.
Thank you to everyone who registered, browsed, and bid. Your support makes a world of difference!
And stay tuned for our Silent Auction coming up in October as part of the 24th Annual Dan McLaughlin Charity Golf Tournament and Auction.
