Tanzania Immersion Silent Auction

Silent Auction Fundraiser For Tanzania Immersion: Thank You!

December 14, 2018

Thank you to everyone who participated in making this year’s Silent Auction the most successful one yet. It takes donors, buyers, and behind the scenes organizers–rock stars, one and all. Priscilla Encarnacion was the winner of the raffle. She is the aunt of Faith Marcelo, who sold the winning raffle ticket. This event made over $3,600 for the Tanzania Immersion. The Moreau Center staff and students are grateful for your support.
