Help Boys Town by donating to a silent auction from now until Dec.1.

You don’t have to travel far to make an impact in your community. Chelsea Gardner, junior in Creative Writing, and volunteer at Boys Town, has teamed up with her workplace GENICON to host a silent auction in which all money raised will be donated to Boys Town.

“I would really appreciate donations, we’re such a good school, so many things hanging around people’s dorms that they don’t need, its such a little gesture for these kids that appreciate so much,” Gardner said. Chelsea has an internship with Literary Arts Partnership and teaches Creative Writing at Boys Town once a week.

GENICON has agreed to match up to $500 raised from the silent auction to donate to Boys Town, an organization that offers help, hope and healing to abused, abandoned, neglected or handicapped children.

Anyone is welcome to place a bid on any items they see. So far clothes, household items, school supplies, desks and bikes have all been donated.

Donations can be dropped off from 9am to 5pm until Dec. 1 at the GENICON location 6869 Stapoint Circle Suite 114, Winter Park 32792
