The first auction, held in December 2011, was extremely successful, auctioning twenty-some student artwork pieces to raise over $300 to benefit Daybreak, a local emergency shelter for youth. The 2nd auction directed by Demi Fang '13 in December of 2012 was even more successful, raising over $1200.
In the first art auction in 9 years, our revived auction held online raised over $750 dollars, providing funds to Daybreak, thus aiding youth hit hard by the Covid pandemic.
