The ABLTC Foundation is set to host its 18th Annual Silent Auction Spectacular. As a charitable organization, the Foundation raises funds to support the programs of Alliance for Better Long Term Care. For over 30 years, the Alliance has worked to enhance the quality of life and health care for residents in long-term care facilities, assisted living communities, and individuals receiving licensed health care, or hospice services at home.
This year’s event will feature both virtual and in-person opportunities for participation, with the online silent auction beginning Thursday, May 1. The live event will take place on Thursday, May 8, from 5:30 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. at the Warwick Country Club, located at 394 Narragansett Bay Avenue in Warwick.
According to Rita Martin, Board President of the ABLTC Foundation, this signature fundraiser is critical in supporting the elderly, disabled, and those who have experienced financial exploitation or neglect.
“The Silent Auction is our biggest fundraiser of the year,” said Martin. “We’re working hard to make this the most successful event yet, thanks to the generosity of our supporters and the incredible quality of donated items.”
The auction will showcase an exciting array of items, including autographed memorabilia from local sports legends and Hollywood icons, gift cards to local restaurants and services, wines, games, day trips, and tickets to events such as plays and ball games. Past auctions have featured highly sought-after trips to destinations, like Tuscany and Hawaii, often sparking intense bidding wars.
“Your generosity directly impacts those who need it most,” Martin emphasized. “Funds raised help protect the rights of elderly and disabled individuals in long-term care, who face abuse, neglect, or financial exploitation.”
Participants in the virtual auction can bid on unique packages, including gift baskets filled with cards for local businesses and services. There will also be raffle drawings and special “Buy Now” items available.
Attendees at the live event will have the chance to win door prizes throughout the evening. A few Live Auction items include a Mohegan Sun getaway for two with dinner, dinner for eight people, prepared in your home by a chef, a catered event for 20, with bartender & DJ, and a seven-day trip for four to Italy!!
In addition to bidding, supporters are encouraged to make one-time donations through the event’s website. Any contribution, large or small, helps advance the foundation’s mission and meet fundraising goals. We are always looking for sponsorships and donations to further support our vital programs and expand our reach.
The ABLTC Foundation is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. All funds raised will directly support the Alliance for Better Long Term Care and its programs.
