Our second annual Virtual Silent Auction was a great success! Thanks to everyone who donated beautiful items and made bids or contributions. With more than 50 items ranging from retail and restaurant gift cards, handcrafted goods by local artists, and premium wines and spirits to a week at the beach and special admission packages to area attractions, there was something for everyone!
Your continued generosity sustains our mission to be welcoming, inclusive, and equitable to all who ask for our help to learn English. If you would still like to make a donation, our Auction donation link is still open. You can make your gift here.
On behalf of the Board of Directors, VEP staff, and all who give their time throughout the year, thank you for joining us during this special fundraiser.

Thank you to all who participated in VEP’s first-ever Virtual Silent Auction this past March, 2024. With active bidding taking place up to midnight and donations arriving in the week following, donations and auction bidding resulted in raising over $10,000 for our organization. This would not have been possible without the remarkable quality and variety of items, the generosity of our donors, and the participation of enthusiastic bidders.
Your participation helped us provide the essential resources we need to remain available, accessible, and affordable for all students.
Together, we can accomplish so much. Thank you!
