Alterna Savings Virtual Silent Auction

At Alterna, our commitment to supporting the communities we serve is the foundation we’re built on. To live up to this commitment, Alterna organizes an annual Charity Golf Classic and Virtual Silent Auction to raise funds for the Candlelighters.

Alterna has supported Candlelighters since 2012 and has raised a combined total of over $675,000. With your support, this year we hope to raise even more for the Candlelighters. All proceeds from this year’s event will be raised for their e-Reader and iPad Program.

To make sure our support continues, we have decided to host a week-long virtual auction fundraiser from June 22nd - 29th. We have a wide array of exciting items to bid on this summer in order to continue our support.

Candlelighters Childhood Cancer Support Programs is a local, not-for-profit organization that exists to enrich the lives of children and families coping with childhood cancer in the national capital and surrounding region. Through the provisions of Family Support, Financial Support, Education Support and Survivor Support, Candlelighters programs make a real and tangible difference in the life of these families.

Thanks to your generous support, Candlelighters has supported over 150 families through the E-Reader Program since its inception. Candlelighters E-Reader Program, a core program within Education Support, provides both children with cancer and their parents a quick, easily transportable means to access resources related to their cancer diagnosis and also provide a positive way to occupy themselves throughout treatments and recovery.

In this age of technology, the E-Reader Program is progressive and forward thinking. It gives easy access to a number of resources; it’s portable and can be used by multiple family members with ease.
