Awards Ceremony – Silent Auction – Keynote
All donations raised will benefit the
Toys for Tots Native American Program
and 2021 NABA-DC programming.
The primary goal for this year’s NABA-DC Virtual Holiday Party is to raise funds for the Marine Toys for Tots Native American Program. This holiday season, many families across Indian Country are struggling financially and many have been greatly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Our hope is to help these families and to offer a little bit of holiday cheer for these children.
A small portion of the funds raised will also benefit NABA-DC’s 2021 annual programming. Each year, NABA-DC hosts programs and events that focus on strengthening our community and providing education on issues impacting Indian Country.
Call for Donations for Our Silent Auction
We are asking for donation items from our NABA-DC membership. We are accepting many types of items including artwork, pottery, home décor, jewelry, gift baskets, gift certificates, and other new gift type items. Please contact Sarah Crawford or James Mowdy at nabadc_community@nabadc.com if you have an item to donate. If you live in the DC area, we will be able to pick up the item.
Call for Sponsors
NABA-DC is seeking monetary sponsors for this year’s holiday party. This year the suggested contributions are: Platinum ($1,000+), Gold ($500+), and Silver ($100+). We hope that you will consider sponsoring the event at any level or amount. A majority of the funds raised from sponsors will be donated to the Toys for Tots Native American Program and procurement of silent auction items. A small portion will benefit NABA-DC’s annual programming. If your firm or organization would like to sponsor the NABA-DC holiday party, please contact Lisa Meissner or Rose Petoskey at nabadc_community@nabadc.com.
