Help with the Silent Auction for the GGWash Spring Gala
We're looking for volunteers to help us drum up items for our silent auction at our upcoming Gala.
Are you connected to our region's food and drink scene? Know anyone who makes art, works at a bike shop, collects books or cool transit stuff? Maybe you're just generally interested in helping our amazing team of volunteers collect a list of experiences and items that will spark delight for attendees and raise funds for GGWash.
This is a great, fun way to support important work we all care about. If you're interested in helping out, email us at [email protected].
It's an omniblitz! Tell the DC Council you support legislation for safer streets.
