The
WLNH Children’s Auction is an annual event held every December in
Laconia, New Hampshire. The fundraiser made $2,100 in its first year and has come a long way with the help of countless volunteers and donors who have helped turn it into a major campaign on an annual basis that raised $251,746 in 2009.
In addition to smaller organizations and families helped throughout the 26 years of the WLNH Children’s Auction, annual contributions are given to many community-based organizations throughout central New Hampshire. These include The Boys and Girls Club of the Lakes Region, Citizen Santa Fund, Community Health and Hospice Young Families program, Gilford Police Relief Association, Greater Lakes Child Advocacy Center, Lakes Region Daycare, Health First Family Care of Franklin, Salvation Army, Irv Buchman Memorial Children’s Fund, Laconia Police Relief Association, Gilford Police Relief Association, Lakes Region Child Care Services, Laconia Endowment Educational Foundation (LEEF), Moultonborough Children’s Christmas Fund, Mrs. Santa Fund – Alton, Ozanam Place, Saint Vincent De Paul, Tapply-Thompson Community Center, Tilton-Northfield-Sanbornton Santa Fund and more.
In 2009 "Cause for Paws" was honored to donated Relaxation and Pet Care Gift Baskets, as well as Gift Certificates from Tranquility Springs Wellness Spa to this great cause!
