Support our Winter Auction
DAI hosts a Winter Auction as our end of the year fundraiser. We’d be honored if you would consider donating an item (which could be a gift card!). As a collaborator in this auction, all your donations will be eligible for tax write-offs as in-kind donations to our 501c3 nonprofit organization. This means that you will be donating a good or a service to DAI for us to auction off for the community.
We also welcome sponsors for this special event! Email us at info@ithacadoulaaccess.com if you’d like to discuss sponsorship.
